29 You speak strongly against me.
    And I have heard your proud words.
So I will put my hook in your nose.
    And I will put my bit in your mouth.
Then I will force you to leave my country
    the same way that you came.’

30 “Then the Lord said, ‘Hezekiah, I will give you this sign:

This year you will eat the grain that grows wild.
    And the second year you will eat what grows wild from that.
But in the third year, plant grain and harvest it.

31 The people left alive in the family of Judah
    will be saved.
Like plants that take root,
    they will grow strong and have many children.

“This year(F) you will eat what grows by itself,
    and the second year what springs from that.

    will take root(J) below and bear fruit(K) above.
