This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The prophet now adds to the song of the vineyard, by way of explanation. “In future will Jacob strike roots, Israel blossom and bud, and fill the surface of the globe with fruits.” We may see from הַבָּאִים (acc. temp. as in Ecc 2:16, equivalent in meaning to “Behold, the days come,” Jer 7:32, etc.), that the true language of prophecy commences again here. For the active וּמָלְאוּ, compare Jer 19:4; Eze 8:17, etc. The prophet here says, in a figure, just the same as the apostle in Rom 11:12, viz., that Israel, when restored once more to favour as a nation, will become “the riches of the Gentiles.”
