כִּ֤י כָאָ֙רֶץ֙ תּוֹצִ֣יא צִמְחָ֔הּ וּכְגַנָּ֖ה זֵרוּעֶ֣יהָ תַצְמִ֑יחַ כֵּ֣ן ׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה יַצְמִ֤יחַ צְדָקָה֙ וּתְהִלָּ֔ה נֶ֖גֶד כָּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃
Sebab seperti bumi menumbuhkan tunas-tunasnya, dan seperti kebun membuat benih yang ditabur di dalamnya bertumbuh, demikianlah Tuhan Yang Mahakekal akan menumbuhkan kebenaran dan puji-pujian di hadapan semua bangsa.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“For as the earth breaks forth her shoots, etc.” [61:11]. The prophet compared the redemption to a seed that one throws into the earth, so that it should grow. The person sometimes despairs that it will be lost in the earth. So too are Israel. They were dispersed and lost in the exile for many years and when the redemption will come, they will be like something that one sows and grows. So will Israel be in the days of the Messiah, like a garden that one sows. Similarly, God will cause righteousness and love to grow before all the nations.1Radak, Isaiah, 61:11.
Ibn Ezra
כארץ תוציא Like the earth which bringeth forth.12A. V., As the earth bringeth forth, etc.
13 I. E. explains the expression צמח, to grow, used here of righteousness, in a figurative sense. Righteousness will, as it were, grow in the estimation of man, so that all will endeavour to become righteous, and to perform righteous deeds. So the Lord will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth. Righteousness and praise will increase, as though they grew.
