2 Kings 19:26-28

The Voice

²⁶     Those who lived there were weak;
        they were distressed and humiliated.
    They became like the grass that grows in the field
        and also like the green herb,
    Just like grass that grows on the roofs of houses
        but is burned by the sun before it gets too high and thick.
²⁷     But I am aware of everything you do—
        when you sit down, when you go out, when you return—
        and I am aware of your fury against Me.
²⁸     Because you have raged against Me,
        because your arrogance has flooded My ears,
    I am going to insert My hook into your nose
        and harness your lips with My bridle,
    And I will send you back in the direction
        from which you came.
