Isaiah
Isaiah 37:24
24Through 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.d
I have reached its farthest heights,
the densest of its forests.
