They were dismayed and confounded;
They were as the grass of the field
And the green herb,
As athe grass on the housetops
And grain blighted before it is grown.
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore aI will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will turn you back
bBy the way which you came.
You shall eat this year such as grows1 of itself,
And in the second year what springs from the same;
Also in the third year sow and reap,
Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
Shall again take root downward,
And bear fruit upward.

2 Kings 19:28
I will put my hook in thy nose - This seems to be an allusion to the method of guiding a buffalo; he has a sort of ring put into his nose, to which a cord or bridle is attached, by which he can be turned to the right, or to the left, or round about, according to the pleasure of his driver.
