Isaiah 37:24-26

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁴ “Through your servants you have reproached 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 cypresses.
And I will go 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 rivers 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 to pass,
That ^(H)you should turn fortified cities into ^(I)ruinous heaps.
