Isaiah 37:24-27
Read Isaiah 37 in full →24“Through your servants you have 1reproached 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 2highest peak, its thickest cforest.25‘I dug wells and drank waters,And awith the sole of my feet I dried upAll the rivers of 1Egypt.’26“aHave you not heard?Long ago I did it;From days of old I bformed it.Now cI have brought it to pass,That dyou should devastate fortified cities into eruinous heaps.27“So their inhabitants were short of power;They were dismayed and put to shame;They were as the aplant of the field and as the green herb,As bgrass on the rooftops 1is scorched before it rises.
