26 (A)Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it,
From ancient times I (B)planned it.
Now (C)I have brought it about
That (D)you would turn fortified cities into (E)ruined heaps.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were [a]powerless,
They were shattered and put to shame;
They were like the (F)vegetation of the field and the green grass,
Like (G)grass on the housetops [b]that is scorched before it has grown.
28 But I (H)know your sitting down,
Your going out, your coming in,
And your raging against Me.
