In a little more than a year you will tremble, O secure ones. For the grape harvest will fail and the fruit harvest will not arrive.

Study note
Setting — The prophet Isaiah confronts complacent, overconfident women in Judah, announcing that their period of false security will end in a little over a year.
The words — תִּרְגַּזְנָה (tir.Gaz.nah) literally means "you will tremble" or be agitated, while בֹּטְח֑וֹת (bo.te.Chot) denotes "confident" or "secure" women.
The thread — The promised agricultural collapse aligns with Isaiah 7:23, where valuable vineyards yield only thorns, and Jeremiah 8:13, where God explicitly removes the harvest.
Why it lands — The verse first records the literal failure of the grape and fruit harvests, then interprets that event as a direct signal to abandon complacency and face sudden reversal.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
