2 Kings 19:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ You’ve insulted the Lord with your messengers;
    you said, ‘I, with my many chariots,
        have gone up to the highest mountains,
        to the farthest reaches of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
    the best of its pine trees.
I have reached its most remote lodging place,
    its best forest.
²⁴ I have dug wells,
    have drunk waters in foreign lands.^[a]
With my own feet, I dried up
        all of Egypt’s streams.’
²⁵ Haven’t you heard?
I set this up long ago;
        I planned it in the distant past!
Now I have made it happen,
    making fortified cities
        collapse into piles of rubble.
