Isaiah 37:24-27
24Through your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the finest of its cypresses.1 I have reached its farthest heights, the densest of its forests.25I have dug wells and drunk foreign2 waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
26Have you not heard?Long ago I ordained it;in days of old I planned it.Now I have brought it to pass,that you should crush fortified citiesinto piles of rubble.27Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power,are dismayed and ashamed.They are like plants in the field,tender green shoots,grass on the rooftops,scorched3 before it is grown.
