this will be a sign to you
on Isaiah 37:30-32
The sign covers three seasons: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. Only in the third year you will sow and reap. The cause is named: The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
This site's exposition
The zeal of the LORD of Hosts
The closing line repeats Isaiah 9:7 word for word, where the zeal of the LORD of Hosts establishes the throne of David's son. Aquinas joins the two verses. The same zeal guards the remnant and David's throne.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(Vers. 30 seqq.) But this will be a sign for you: Eat in this year what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from that; then in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. The remaining survivors of the house of Judah shall take root downward and bear fruit upward; for out of Jerusalem shall come a remnant, and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

Shall go forth a remnant - The word ‘remnant’ means that which is left; and does not of necessity imply that it should be a small portion. No doubt a part of the Jews were destroyed in the invasion of Sennacherib, but the assurance is here given that a portion of them would remain in safety, and that they would constitute that from which the future prosperity of the state would arise. And they that escape - Margin, ‘The escaping,’ that is, the remnant. The zeal - (See the note at Isa 9:7).
