Isaiah 37:22-29

22This is the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, hath despisedH959 thee, and mockedH3932 thee; the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at theeH310. 23Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and liftedH5375 thy eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. 24ByH3027 thy servantsH5650 hast thou reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, By the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 have I come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cut downH3772 its tallH6967 cedarsH730, and its choiceH4005 fir treesH1265: and I will enterH935 into the heightH4791 of its borderH7093, and the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760.123 25I have dugH6979, and drunkH8354 waterH4325; and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I dried upH2717 all the riversH2975 of the besieged placesH4693.4 26Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350, how I have doneH6213 it; and of ancientH6924 timesH3117, that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530.5 27Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of smallH7116 powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954: they were as the grassH6212 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as grain blightedH7709 beforeH6440 it is grown upH7054.6 28But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me.7 29Because thy rageH7264 against me, and thy tumultH7600, is come upH5927 into my earsH241, therefore I will putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
