2 Kings 19:21-28

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

25‘10Have you not heard? Long ago I did it; From ancient times I planned it. 11Now I have brought it about, That you would turn fortified cities into ruined heaps.26Therefore their inhabitants were 12powerless, They were shattered and put to shame. They were 13like the vegetation of the field and the green grass, Like grass on the housetops that is scorched before it has grown.27But 14I know your sitting down, Your going out, your coming in, And your raging against Me.28Because of your raging against Me, And because your complacency has come up to My ears, I 15will put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And 16I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
