2 Kings 19:25-27
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
25 ‘Have you not heard
that I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what now I bring to pass,
that you should make fortified cities
crash into heaps of ruins,
26 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded;
they 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 rising[a] and your sitting,
your going out and coming in,
and your raging against me.

New International Version
25 “‘Have you not heard?(A)
Long ago I ordained it.
In days of old I planned(B) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(C)
26 Their people, drained of power,(D)
are dismayed(E) and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,(F)
like grass sprouting on the roof,
scorched(G) before it grows up.
27 “‘But I know(H) where you are
and when you come and go
and how you rage against me.
2 Kings 19:25-27
King James Version
25 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
27 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
