Exegesis
The opening verbal clause yelchu {יֵלְכוּ | yēlĕkû} ‘they will go’ takes yoneqotav {יֹנְקֹותָיו | yōnəqōṯāw} ‘his young shoots’ as its subject, using a motion verb metaphorically to portray outward spreading and vigorous growth.
In context — Hosea 14:6
His young shoots will spread outward, and his splendor will be like an olive tree, and his fragrance will be like Lebanon.
