Notes
You will praise the name of the LORD your God: God promised to restore your crops and food supply. This should lead the people of Judah and Jerusalem to praise and adore him. They should acknowledge that the Lord is among them and that he alone is God.
God promised to restore the material life of his people in the near future. He would refill their fields, orchards, vineyards, and flocks.
