En dit zal u tot een teken zijn: Eet in dit jaar wat vanzelf uitspruit; in het tweede jaar, wat daarvan weder uitspruit; zaait en maait in het derde jaar, en plant wijnbergen en eet hunne vruchten.
En dat zij u een teken, dat men in dit jaar eten zal, wat van zelf gewassen is; en in het tweede jaar, wat daarvan weder uitspruit; maar zaait in het derde jaar, en maait, en plant wijngaarden, en eet hun vruchten.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The prophet now once more addresses Hezekiah, and gives him a “sign,” or token, whereby he and his may be assured that Sennacherib is indeed bridled, and will not trouble Judaea anymore. It was a sign of the continued freedom of the land from attack during the whole of the remainder of Sennacherib’s reign - a space of 17 years.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 29. This shall be a sign unto thee — To Hezekiah; for to him this part of the address is made.
Ye shall eat this year — Sennacherib had ravaged the country, and seed-time was now over, yet God shows them that he would so bless the land, that what should grow of itself that year, would be quite sufficient to supply the inhabitants and prevent all famine; and though the second year was the sabbatical rest or jubilee for the land, in which it was unlawful to plough or sow; yet even then the land, by an especial blessing of God, should bring forth a sufficiency for its inhabitants; and in the third year they should sow and plant, c. and have abundance, &c. Now this was to be a sign to Hezekiah, that his deliverance had not been effected by natural or casual means for as without a miracle the ravaged and uncultivated land could not yield food for its inhabitants, so not without miraculous interference could the Assyrian army be cut off and Israel saved.
