2 Kings

2 Kings 19:22–25

²²Whom have you taunted and blasphemed?

Against whom have you raised your voice

and lifted your eyes in pride?

Against the Holy One of Israel!

²³Through your servants you have taunted the Lord,

and you have said:

“With my many chariots

I have ascended

to the heights of the mountains,

to the remote peaks of Lebanon.

I have cut down its tallest cedars,

the finest of its cypresses.^c

I have reached its farthest outposts,

the densest of its forests.

²⁴I have dug wells

and drunk foreign waters.

With the soles of my feet

I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”

²⁵Have you not heard?

Long ago I ordained it;

in days of old I planned it.

Now I have brought it to pass,

that you should crush fortified cities

into piles of rubble.
