Isaiah 37:24-27

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 ^aLebanon;
And I cut down its tall ^bcedars and its choice cypresses.
And I will go to its ^{▼▼ Lit farthest height}highest peak, its thickest ^dforest.
25 ‘I dug wells and drank waters,
And ^ewith the sole of my feet I dried up
All the rivers of ^{▼▼ Or the besieged place}Egypt.’
26 ^g“Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it,
From ancient times I ^hplanned it.
Now ⁱI have brought it to pass,
That ^jyou should turn fortified cities into ^kruinous heaps.
27 “Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength,
They were dismayed and put to shame;
They were as the ^lvegetation of the field and as the green herb,
As ^mgrass on the housetops ^{▼▼ So DSS and 2 Kin 19:26; M.T. as a plowed field}is scorched before it is grown up.
