2 Kings 19:27-29

New American Standard Bible

²⁷But ^(A)I know your sitting down,
Your going out, your coming in,
And your raging against Me.
²⁸Because of your raging against Me,
And because your complacency has come up to My ears,
I ^(B)will put My hook in your nose,
And My bridle in your lips,
And ^(C)I will turn you back by the way by which you came.

²⁹‘Then this shall be ^(D)the sign for you: ^[a]you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what grows by itself, and in the third year sow, harvest, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
