2 Kings 19:21-28

21ThisH2088 is the wordH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 has spokenH1696 against himH5921:

‘The VirginH1330 DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726despisesH959 you and mocksH3932 you;the DaughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389shakesH5128 her headH7218 behind youH310.22 WhomH4310 have you tauntedH2778 and blasphemedH1442?AgainstH5921 whomH4310 have you raisedH7311 your voiceH6963and liftedH5375 your eyesH5869 in prideH4791?AgainstH5921 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478!23ThroughH3027 your servantsH4397 you have tauntedH2778 the LordH136,and you have saidH559:

“With my manyH7393 chariotsH7393IH589 have ascendedH5927to the heightsH4791 of the mountainsH2022,to the remote peaksH3411 of LebanonH3844.I have cut downH3772 its tallestH6967 cedarsH730,the finestH4004 of its cypressesH1265.1I have reachedH935 its farthestH7093 outpostsH4411,the densestH3293 of its forestsH3759.24IH589 have dug wellsH6979and drunkH8354 foreignH2114 watersH4325.With the solesH3709 of my feetH6471I have dried upH2717 allH3605 the streamsH2975 of EgyptH4693.”

25Have you notH3808 heardH8085?Long agoH7350 I ordainedH6213 itH853;in daysH3117 of oldH6924 I planned itH3335.Now I haveH6258 brought it to passH935,that you should crushH1961 H7582 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892into pilesH1530 of rubbleH5327.26Therefore their inhabitantsH3427, devoidH7116 of powerH3027,are dismayedH2865 and ashamedH954.They are likeH1961 plantsH6212 in the fieldH7704,tenderH3419 green shootsH1877,grassH2682 on the rooftopsH1406,scorchedH7711 beforeH6440 it is grownH7054.

27But I knowH3045 your sitting downH3427,your going outH3318 and coming inH935,and your ragingH7264 against MeH413.28BecauseH3282 your rageH7264 and arroganceH7600 against MeH413have reachedH5927 My earsH241,I will putH7760 My hookH2397 in your noseH639and My bitH4964 in your mouthH8193;I will send you backH7725the wayH1870 you cameH935.’
