1.5 KiB
General Information:
This continues Yahweh's message to Hezekiah.
remnant
A "remnant" is a part of something that remains after the rest is gone. Here this refers to the people who are left in Judah.
the house of Judah
Here Judah's "house" refers to his descendants. AT: "the descendants of Judah" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
will again take root and bear fruit
This speaks of the people of Judah becoming prosperous as if they were plants that would root and bear fruit. AT: "will prosper like a plant that takes root and produces fruit" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
For from Jerusalem a remnant will come out; from Mount Zion survivors will come
These two phrases have the same meaning and are used together to emphasize the remnant of people who will survive. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this
This speaks of Yahweh doing something because of his zeal as if his "zeal" were actually doing the action. AT: "Because of his zeal, Yahweh of hosts will do this" or "Yahweh of hosts will do this because of his zeal" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
