“ This will be the sign for you, Hezekiah:“ This year you will eat what grows by itself, and the second year what springs from that. But in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

The Lord said,“ Hezekiah, here is a sign for you.“ This year you will eat what grows by itself. Next year you will eat what grows from that. But in the third year you will plant your crops and gather them in. You will plant your grapevines and eat their fruit.

In that day a farmer will be fortunate to have a cow and two sheep or goats left.Nevertheless, there will be enough milk for everyone because so few people will be left in the land. They will eat their fill of yogurt and honey.In that day the lush vineyards, now worth 1,000 pieces of silver, will become patches of briers and thorns.The entire land will become a vast expanse of briers and thorns, a hunting ground overrun by wildlife.No one will go to the fertile hillsides where the gardens once grew, for briers and thorns will cover them. Cattle, sheep, and goats will graze there.

That same day the man of God gave a sign to prove his message. He said,“ The Lord has promised to give this sign: This altar will split apart, and its ashes will be poured out on the ground.”When King Jeroboam heard the man of God speaking against the altar at Bethel, he pointed at him and shouted,“ Seize that man!” But instantly the king’s hand became paralyzed in that position, and he couldn’t pull it back.At the same time a wide crack appeared in the altar, and the ashes poured out, just as the man of God had predicted in his message from the Lord.

“‘ And this is the sign from the Lord to prove that he will do as he promised:

In fact, you will still be eating from that large crop when the new crop is harvested in the ninth year.

Isaiah replied,“ This is the sign from the Lord to prove that he will do as he promised. Would you like the shadow on the sundial to go forward ten steps or backward ten steps?”

but during the seventh year the land must have a Sabbath year of complete rest. It is the Lord’s Sabbath. Do not plant your fields or prune your vineyards during that year.And don’t store away the crops that grow on their own or gather the grapes from your unpruned vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.
