2 Kings 19:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 By thy messengers thou hast railed on the Lord, and said, By the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the top of the mountains, by the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the high cedars thereof, and the fair fir trees thereof, and I will go into the [a]lodging of his borders, and into the forest of his [b]Carmel.
24 I have dug and drunk the waters of others, and with the plant of my feet have I dried all the [c]floods closed in.
25 Hast thou not heard, how I have of old time made it, and have formed it long ago? [d]and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and laid on ruinous heaps, as cities defensed?
