27 ‘But (A)I know your dwelling place,
Your going out and your coming in,
And your rage against Me.
28 Because your rage against Me and your tumult
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore (B)I will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will turn you back
(C)By the way which you came.

29 ‘This shall be a (D)sign to you:

‘You shall eat this year such as grows [a]of itself,
And in the second year what springs from the same;
Also in the third year sow and reap,
Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
