29 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.

30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.

34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

29 “This will be the sign(A) for you, Hezekiah:

“This year you will eat what grows by itself,(B)
    and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year sow and reap,
    plant vineyards(C) and eat their fruit.
30 Once more a remnant(D) of the kingdom of Judah
    will take root(E) below and bear fruit above.
31 For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,(F)
    and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.(G)

“The zeal(H) of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

32 “Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:

“‘He will not enter this city
    or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
    or build a siege ramp against it.
33 By the way that he came he will return;(I)
    he will not enter this city,
declares the Lord.
34 I will defend(J) this city and save it,
    for my sake and for the sake of David(K) my servant.’”
