Isaiah 37:27-38
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 37
27Therefore their inhabitants were powerless, They were shattered and put to shame; They were like the vegetation of the field and the green grass, Like grass on the housetops that is scorched before it has grown. 28But I know your sitting down, Your going out, your coming in, And your raging against Me.
30Then this shall be the sign for you: you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what grows from the same, and in the third year sow, harvest, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31The survivors that are left of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.

33Therefore, this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not come to this city nor shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield, nor heap up an assault ramp against it.

35‘For I will protect this city to save it for My own sake, and for My servant David’s sake.’?'

Chapter 37
27Therefore their inhabitants had little power; They were dismayed and confounded; They were as the grass of the field And the green herb, As the grass on the housetops And grain blighted before it is grown. 28“But I know your dwelling place, Your going out and your coming in, And your rage against Me. 29Because your rage against Me and your tumult Have come up to My ears, Therefore I will put My hook in your nose And My bridle in your lips, And I will turn you back By the way which you came.” ’
