And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Kings. Isaiah conveys the Lord’s response to the Assyrian threat. The message mocks Sennacherib’s arrogance and states that his advance has occurred within limits established by God. The imperial power believes its conquests depend exclusively on its own strength, but the prophet declares that the Lord knows and governs its course. It is promised that Assyria will not enter Jerusalem or shoot an arrow there. The deliverance is presented as a sign that God’s sovereignty extends even over the empire that appeared invincible.

Und das sei dir ein Zeichen: In diesem Jahr iß, was von selber wächst; im andern Jahr, was noch aus den Wurzeln wächst; im dritten Jahr säet und erntet, und pflanzt Weinberge und esset ihre Früchte.
Y esto te será por señal Ezechîas: Este año comerás lo que nacerá de suyo, y el segundo año lo que nacerá de suyo; y el tercer año haréis sementera, y segaréis, y plantaréis viñas, y comeréis el fruto de ellas.
Esta será la señal para ti, Ezequías: Este año comerán lo que crezca por sí solo; el segundo año, lo que vuelva a brotar. El tercer año sembrarán y cosecharán, plantarán viñedos y comerán su fruto.
Que ceci soit un signe pour toi: On a mangé une année le produit du grain tombé, et une seconde année ce qui croît de soi-même; mais la troisième année, vous sèmerez, vous moissonnerez, vous planterez des vignes, et vous en mangerez le fruit.
E questo, o Ezechia, ti sarà per segno: Quest’anno si mangerà quello che sarà nato de’ granelli caduti nella ricolta precedente; e l’anno seguente altresì si mangerà quello che sarà nato da sè stesso; ma l’anno terzo voi seminerete, e ricoglierete; e pianterete vigne, e mangerete del frutto.
E isto te será por sinal; este ano se comerá o que nascer por si mesmo, e no ano seguinte o que daí proceder; porém, no terceiro ano semeai e segai, plantai vinhas, e comei os seus frutos.
「這是給你的預兆:你們今年要吃野生的,明年也要吃自長的;後年,你們就要耕種收割,栽葡萄園,吃其中的果子。
