2 Kings 19:26-28

English Standard Version Anglicised

²⁶ while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
    are dismayed and confounded,
and have become ^(A)like plants of the field
    and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
    blighted before it is grown.
²⁷ “But I know your sitting down
    ^(B)and your going out and coming in,
    and your raging against me.
²⁸ Because you have raged against me
    and your complacency has come into my ears,
I will ^(C)put my hook in your nose
    and my bit in your mouth,
and ^(D)I will turn you back on the way
    by which you came.
