2 Kings 19:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ Through your messengers
    you have dared to make fun of the Lord.
And you have said,
    “I have many chariots.
With them I have gone to the tops of the mountains.
    I’ve climbed the highest mountains in Lebanon.
I’ve cut down its tallest cedar trees.
    I’ve cut down the best of its juniper trees.
I’ve reached its farthest parts.
    I’ve reached its finest forests.
²⁴ I’ve dug wells in strange lands.
    I’ve drunk the water from them.
I’ve walked through all of Egypt’s streams.
    I’ve dried up every one of them.”
