Isaiah 37:24-26
World English Bible
24 By your servants, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field. 25 I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
26 “‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.

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)’
