Isaiah 37:28-30

New International Reader's Version

²⁸ “ ‘ “ ‘But I know where you are.
    I know when you come and go.
    I know how very angry you are with me.
²⁹ You roar against me and brag.
    And I have heard your bragging.
So I will put my hook in your nose.
    I will put my bit in your mouth.
And I will make you go home
    by the same way you came.’ ” ’ ”

“This year you will eat what grows by itself.
    Next year you will eat what grows from that.
But in the third year you will plant your crops and gather them in.
    You will plant your grapevines and eat their fruit.
