The remnant will take root

30And this will be the sign for you: this year eat what grows by itself, and in the second year what springs from that; but in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

31And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.

32For from Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors from Mount Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.

33Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria: He will not come into this city, or shoot an arrow there, or come before it with a shield, or heap up a siege ramp against it.

34By the way that he came, by it he will return, and he will not come into this city, declares Yahweh.

35For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of David my servant.
