2 Kings 19:26-28

Revised Standard Version

²⁶while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
    are dismayed and confounded,
and have become 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
    and your going out and coming in,
    and your raging against me.
²⁸Because you have raged against me
    and your arrogance has come into my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
    and my bit in your mouth,
and I will turn you back on the way
    by which you came.
