Melachim Bais 19:24-26

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁴ I have dug and drunk mayim, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of the besieged places.

²⁵ Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it, and of yemei kedem (days of old), that I have formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.

²⁶ Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and put to shame; they were as the esev of the sadeh, and as the green herb, as the khasir (grass) on the gagot (rooftops) is sun-scorched before it is grown up.
