In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.

In the year that King Ahaz died this oracle came:

In the year that the commander came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him and he fought against Ashdod and captured it,

For thus the Lord said to me, “In a year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will terminate;

Woe, O Ariel, Ariel the city where David once camped!
Add year to year, observe your feasts on schedule.

Within a year and a few days
You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;
For the vintage is ended,
And the fruit gathering will not come.

For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;
Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.

For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
A year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and seized them.

“Then this shall be the sign for you: you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,

“For the day of vengeance was in My heart,
And My year of redemption has come.
