28 “But I know where you are
    and when you come and go(A)
    and how you rage(B) against me.
29 Because you rage against me
    and because your insolence(C) has reached my ears,
I will put my hook(D) in your nose(E)
    and my bit in your mouth,
and I will make you return
    by the way you came.(F)

30 “This will be the sign(G) for you, Hezekiah:

“This year(H) you will eat what grows by itself,
    and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year(I) sow and reap,
    plant vineyards(J) and eat their fruit.(K)
31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
    will take root(L) below and bear fruit(M) above.
32 For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,(N)
    and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.(O)
The zeal(P) of the Lord Almighty
    will accomplish this.
