Isaiah 37:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ With your servants, you’ve insulted the Lord;
    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.
²⁵ I have dug wells,
    have drunk water in foreign lands.^[a]
With my own feet, I dried up all of Egypt’s streams.”
²⁶ 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.
