24 Through your servants you have taunted the Lord,
And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of (A)Lebanon;
And I cut down its tall (B)cedars and its choice junipers.
And I will come to its [a]highest peak, its thickest (C)forest.
25 I dug wells and drank waters,
And (D)with the sole of my feet I dried up
All the canals of [b]Egypt.’
26 (E)Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it,
From ancient times I (F)planned it.
Now (G)I have brought it about
That (H)you would turn fortified cities into (I)ruined heaps.
