Isaiah 37:30-32
Easy-to-Read Version
The Lord’s Message for Hezekiah
30 Then the Lord said, “I will give you a sign to show you that these words are true. You will not be able to plant seeds this year, so next year you will eat grain that grew wild from the previous year’s crop. But in the third year, you will eat grain from seeds that you planted. You will harvest your crops, and you will have plenty to eat. You will plant vineyards and eat grapes from them.
31 “The people from the family of Judah who have escaped and are left alive will be like plants that send their roots deep into the ground and produce fruit above the ground. 32 That is because a few people will come out of Jerusalem alive. There will be survivors coming from Mount Zion.” The strong love[a] of the Lord All-Powerful will do this.

New International Version
30 “This will be the sign(A) for you, Hezekiah:
“This year(B) you will eat what grows by itself,
and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year(C) sow and reap,
plant vineyards(D) and eat their fruit.(E)
31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
will take root(F) below and bear fruit(G) above.

The zeal(J) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
