And the places that have been desolate for ages shall be built in thee: thou shalt raise up the foundations of generation and generation: and thou shalt be called the repairer of the fences, turning the paths into rest.
Ibn Ezra
ובנו ממך And they that shall be of thee shall build. The foundations of many generations, that is, a building standing on a foundation, which will last for generations. תקומם Thou shalt raise up. It is Polel like תשובב (Ps. 60:3). The restorer of paths to dwell in. After people had ceased to tread them, thou wilt restore them, that people will dwell therein.
