Expanded Bible
21 This is ·what [L the word] the Lord has said against Sennacherib:
‘The ·people of Jerusalem [L virgin daughter of Zion]
·hate you [despises] and ·make fun of [mocks; scorns] you.
The ·people [L daughter] of Jerusalem
·laugh at you [L tosses her head] ·as you run away [as you flee; or behind your back].
22 ·You have insulted me and spoken against me [Whom have you defied/ridiculed/mocked?];
·you have raised your voice against me [Against whom have you raised your voice…].
·You have a proud look on your face [and arrogantly lifted your eyes/gaze?]!
Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 You have sent your messengers to ·insult [defy; ridicule; mock] the Lord.
You have said, “With my many chariots
I have gone to the tops of the mountains,
to the ·highest [or remotest] mountains of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars
and its best ·pine [cypress] trees.
I have gone to its farthest places
and to its ·best [densest] forests.
