2 Kings

2 Kings 19:23

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.
