“And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as 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.”
Isaiah provides a sign to Hezekiah, assuring him that the people will eat what grows by itself this year and the second year what springs from that, but in the third year they will sow and harvest. The sign suggests a period of relief from the immediate threat, allowing the land to recover and the people to return to normal agriculture. The oracle provides concrete assurance of deliverance from the current crisis.
