“‘The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will take root downward and bear fruit upward.
Perhaps Adonai your God, hearing all the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to mock the living God, will rebuke the words which Adonai your God has heard. So offer prayer for the remnant that is left.”
You pulled out a vine from Egypt. You drove out nations and planted it.
Unless Adonai-Tzva’ot had left us a small remnant, we would have been as Sodom, we would have been as Gomorrah.
In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit.
