Isaiah 37:23-24

23 Whom have you taunted and hurled insults at?
At whom have you shouted
and looked so arrogantly? ^{▼▼ Heb “and lifted your eyes on high?” Cf. NIV “lifted your eyes in pride”; NRSV “haughtily lifted your eyes.”}
At the Holy One of Israel! ^{▼▼ See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.}
24 Through your messengers you taunted the sovereign master, ^{▼▼ The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).}
‘With my many chariots I climbed up
the high mountains,
the slopes of Lebanon.
I cut down its tall cedars
and its best evergreens.
I invaded its most remote regions, ^{▼▼ Heb “the height of its extremity”; ASV “its farthest height.”}
its thickest woods.
