Isaiah 37:22-29

22this is the wordH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him: The virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 hath despisedH959 thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 herH5921 headH7218 at thee.

23WhomH4310 hast thou reproached and blasphemedH1442? and againstH5921 whomH4310 hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963 and liftedH5375 upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? evenH853 againstH5921 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.

24By thy servantsH5650 hast thou reproached the LordH136, and hast saidH559, With the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 am I comeH935 upH5927 to the heightH6967 of the mountainsH2022, to the innermostH3411 partsH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cutH3772 downH3772 the tallH6967 cedarsH730 thereof, and the choiceH4005 firH1265 treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 intoH935 his farthestH7093 heightH6967, the forestH3293 of his fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759.

25I have digged and drunkH8354 waterH4325, and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 will I dryH2717 upH8354 allH3605 the riversH2975 of EgyptH4693.

26Hast thou notH3808 heardH8085 howH6213 I have doneH6213 it longH3117 agoH7350, and formedH3335 it of ancient timesH3117? nowH6258 have I broughtH935 it to passH935, that thou shouldest be to layH1961 waste fenced citiesH5892 intoH935 ruinous heapsH1530.

27Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of small powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954; they were as the grassH2682 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH6212, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as a fieldH7704 of corn beforeH6440 it be grownH7054 upH1961.

28But I knowH3045 thy sittingH3427 downH3427, and thy goingH3318 outH3318, and thy comingH935 in, and thy ragingH7264 againstH413 meH413.

29BecauseH3282 of thy ragingH7264 againstH413 meH413, and for that thine arrogancy is comeH935 upH5927 intoH413 mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turnH7725 thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by whichH834 thou camest.
