2 Kings 19:29-31

Easy-to-Read Version

The Lord’s Message for Hezekiah

²⁹ Then the Lord said, “I will give you a sign to show that these words are true. You were not able to plant seeds this year, so next year you will eat grain that grows wild from the previous year’s crop. But in the third year, you will eat grain from seeds that you planted. You will harvest your crops and have plenty to eat. You will plant grapevines and eat their fruit. You will plant vineyards and eat the grapes from them. ³⁰ The people from the family of Judah who have escaped and are left alive will be like plants that send their roots deep into the ground and produce fruit above the ground. ³¹ That is because a few people will come out of Jerusalem alive. There will be survivors coming from Mount Zion. The strong love^[a] of the Lord All-Powerful will do this.
