2 Kings 19:21-23

International Standard Version

‘She despises and mocks you,
    this virgin daughter of Zion!
Behind your back she shakes her head,
    this daughter of Jerusalem!
²² Who are you reproaching and blaspheming?
    Against whom have you raised your voice?
And against whom^[a] have you lifted up your eyes in arrogance?
    Against the Holy One of Israel!
²³ By your messengers you have insulted the Lord.
    You have claimed,
“With my many chariots
    I ascended the heights of the mountains,
        including the remotest regions of Lebanon;
I cut down its tall cedars
    and the best of its cypress trees.
I entered its most remote lodging place
    and its most fruitful^[b] forest.
