How I made it,
From ancient times that I formed it?
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should be
For crushing fortified cities into heaps of ruins.
They were dismayed and confounded;
They were as the grass of the field
And the green herb,
As the 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 bturn you back
By the way which you came.” ’
You shall eat this year such as grows of itself,
And the second year what springs from the same;
Also in the third year sow and reap,
Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

Isaiah 37:28
But I know - The language of God. ' I am well acquainted with all that pertains to you. You neither go out to war, nor return, nor abide in your capital without my providential direction' (see the notes at Isaiah 10:5-7).
Thy abode - Margin, ' Sitting.' Among the Hebrews, sitting down, rising up, and going out, were phrases to describe the whole of a man' s life and actions (compare Deuteronomy 6:7; Deuteronomy 28:6; I Kings 3:7; Psalms 121:8). God here says that he knew the place where he dwelt, and he was able to return him again to it Isaiah 37:29.
And thy rage against me - (See Isaiah 37:4).
