2 Kings 19:27-29

Revised Standard Version

²⁷“But I know your sitting down
    and your going out and coming in,
    and your raging against me.
²⁸Because you have raged against me
    and your arrogance has come into my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
    and my bit in your mouth,
and I will turn you back on the way
    by which you came.

²⁹“And this shall be the sign for you: this year you shall eat what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs of the same; then in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
