27. Their people powerless,dismayed and distraught,They are plants of the field,green growth,thatch on the rooftops,Grain scorched by the east wind.
28. I know when you stand or sit,when you come or go,and how you rage against me.
29. Because you rage against meand your smugness has reached my ears,I will put my hook in your noseand my bit in your mouth,And make you leave by the way you came.
30. This shall be a sign for you:This year you shall eat the aftergrowth,next year, what grows of itself;But in the third year, sow and reap,plant vineyards and eat their fruit!
31. The remaining survivors of the house of Judahshall again strike root belowand bear fruit above.
32. For out of Jerusalem shall come a remnant,and from Mount Zion, survivors.The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
