2 Kings 19:23-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
With my many chariots(B)
I have gone up to the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon.
I cut down its tallest cedars,
its choice cypress trees.
I came to its farthest outpost,
its densest forest.
24 I dug wells,
and I drank foreign waters.
I dried up all the streams of Egypt(C)
with the soles of my feet.
25 Have you not heard?(D)
I designed it long ago;
I planned it in days gone by.
I have now brought it to pass,(E)
and you have crushed fortified cities
into piles of rubble.

2 Kings 19:23-25
New International Version
23 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,(A)
“With my many chariots(B)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down(C) its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest parts,
the finest of its forests.
24 I have dug wells in foreign lands
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
