Isaiah 37:28-30
1599 Geneva Bible
28 But I know thy dwelling, and thy [a]going out, and thy coming in, and thy fury against me.
29 Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come unto mine ears, therefore will I put mine [b]hook in thy nostrils, and my bridle in thy lips, and will bring thee back again the same way thou [c]camest.
30 And this shall be a [d]sign unto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eat this year such as groweth of itself: and the [e]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.
