God's Watchful Hand
Commentators highlight the perfect symmetry in this verse. The same divine watchfulness and power that God used to discipline Israel through destruction ("pluck up," "break down") will now be applied with equal intensity to their restoration ("build," "plant"). This shows that Israel's suffering was not random, but a sovereign act from the same God who now promises to heal and restore them.
