Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

27 And their inhabitants were short of hand, they were dis- mayed and ashamed: they were (as) grass of the ﬁeld, and green ’algke, grass of the hoUse tops, and a cornfield before it stands in stalk

28 And thy down-sitting, and thy going out and thy coming in I know, andthy rage, against me.

29 Because thy rage against me and. thy recklessness is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

30 And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

31 And the escaped of the house of Judah that are left, shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion; the jealousy of the LORD of Hosts shall do this.

33 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast up a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.

35 And I will protect this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant ’s sake.
