19:30a And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root below

The survivors of the house of Judah will again flourish like plants that send roots into the ground.

-or-

The people in Judah who remain/survive will again establish themselves in the land.

19:30b and bear fruit above.

The English word “fruit” does not include root vegetables, that is, crops that grow underground, and so in the meaning lines the word “above” has been left implied. In some languages it may be natural to make it explicit that this fruit will be produced above the ground. The fruit is probably a metaphor for children.

They ⌊will also⌋ produce fruit.

-or-

They will produce ⌊great/much⌋ fruit/children.
