Exegesis
The parallel clause begins with u-babboqer {וּבַבֹּ֖קֶר | û-ḇa-b-bō-qer} ‘and in the morning’ and uses the Hiphil verb tafrikhi {תַּפְרִ֑יחִי | ta-p̄ṯ-rî-ḥî} ‘make to flourish’ governing zar‘ekh {זַרְעֵ֣ךְ | za-rê-ḵ} ‘your seed.’
In context — Isaiah 17:11
On the day you plant, you cause it to spring up , and in the morning you make your seed flourish; the harvest becomes a heap on the day of grief and incurable pain.
