Isaiah 37:30

37:30 ¹“This will be your reminder that I have spoken the truth:² This year you will eat what grows wild,³ and next year⁴ what grows on its own. But the year after that⁵ you will plant seed and harvest crops; you will plant vines and consume their produce.⁶

¹tn At this point the word concerning the king of Assyria (vv. 22-29) ends and the Lord again addresses Hezekiah and the people directly (see v. 21).

²tn Heb “and this is your sign.” In this case the אוֹת (’ot, “sign”) is a future reminder of God’s intervention designated before the actual intervention takes place. For similar “signs” see Exod 3:12 and Isa 7:14-25.

³sn This refers to crops that grew up on their own (that is, without cultivation) from the seed planted in past years.

⁴tn Heb “and in the second year” (so ASV).

⁵tn Heb “in the third year” (so KJV, NAB).

⁶tn The four plural imperatival verb forms in v. 30b are used rhetorically. The Lord commands the people to plant, harvest, etc. to emphasize the certainty of restored peace and prosperity.
