30 And this shall be a [a]sign unto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eat this year such as groweth of itself: and the [b]second year such things as grow without sowing: and in the third year, sow ye and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

31 And [c]the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah, shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward.

32 For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 37:30 God giveth signs after two sorts: some go before the thing, as the signs that Moses wrought in Egypt, which were for the confirmation of their faith, and some go after the thing, as the sacrifice, which they were commanded to make three days after their departure: and these latter are to keep the benefits of God in our remembrance: of the which sort this here is.
  2. Isaiah 37:30 He promiseth that for two years the ground of itself should feed them.
  3. Isaiah 37:31 They whom God hath delivered out of the hands of the Assyrians, shall prosper: and this properly belongeth to the Church.
