Isaiah 37:24-26
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
24 By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, “With my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon;
I felled its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses;
I came to its remotest height,
its densest forest.
25 I dug wells
and drank waters,
I dried up with the sole of my foot
all the streams of Egypt.”
26 ‘Have you not heard
that I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what now I bring to pass,
that you should make fortified cities
crash into heaps of ruins,
Isaiah 37:24-26
New International Version
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
‘With my many chariots(A)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights(B) of Lebanon.(C)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.(D)
I have reached its remotest heights,
the finest of its forests.
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[a]
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up(E) all the streams of Egypt.(F)’
