For as the earth puts forth its sprouting plants, and as the garden makes its planting grow
This is saying the same thing in two ways for emphasis and to show that whatever God says he will do is certainly going to happen, just as seeds always sprout. It can be translated as, "Just as seeds sown in a garden sprout from the soil and grow" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
