Isa 37:24-27 | ESV | STEP | By your servants you have mocked the Lord , and you have said , With my many chariots I have gone up the heights of the mountains , to the far recesses of Lebanon , to cut down its tallest cedars , its choicest cypresses , to come to its remotest height , its most fruitful forest .

Isaiah 37:24-27

24 By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, ^aWith my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon,
^bto cut down its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
its most fruitful forest.
25 I dug wells
and drank waters,
to dry up with the sole of my foot
all ^cthe streams ^dof Egypt.
26 ^e“‘Have you not heard
that I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what now I bring to pass,
that you should make fortified cities
crash into heaps of ruins,
27 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded,
and have become like plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
blighted ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts and 2 Kings 19:26; most Hebrew manuscripts like a field} before it is grown.
