And against whom have you raised your voice,
And [a]haughtily lifted up your eyes?
Against the (E)Holy One of Israel!

And you have said, “With my many chariots

To the remotest parts of Lebanon;
And I [b]cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses.
And I [c]entered its farthest lodging place, its (G)thickest forest.
