2 Kings 19:21-28

21This is the word that the Lord has spoken against him: ‘She has despised you and mocked you, 1The virgin daughter of Zion; She 2has shaken her head behind you, The daughter of Jerusalem!22Whom have you 3reproached and 4blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice, And 5haughtily lifted up your eyes? Against the 6Holy One of Israel!237Through your messengers you have reproached the Lord, And you have said, “With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains, To the remotest parts of Lebanon; And I 8cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses. And I 9entered its farthest lodging place, its 10thickest forest.24I dug wells and drank foreign waters, And with the sole of my feet I 1112dried up All the rivers of 13Egypt.”

25‘14Have you not heard? Long ago I did it; From ancient times I planned it. 15Now I have brought it to pass, That you should turn fortified cities into ruinous heaps.26Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were 16as the vegetation of the field and as the green herb, As grass on the housetops is scorched before it is grown up.27But 17I know your sitting down, And your going out and your coming in, And your raging against Me.28Because of your raging against Me, And because your 18arrogance has come up to My ears, Therefore I 19will put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And 20I will turn you back by the way which you came.
