25 I dug wells and drank water in foreign lands.[a]
I dried up all the streams of Egypt
with the soles of my feet.”(A)

26 Have you not heard?(B)

I planned it in days gone by.(C)

into piles of rubble.
27 Their inhabitants have become powerless,
dismayed, and ashamed.
They are plants of the field,
tender grass,
grass on the rooftops,
blasted by the east wind.[b]
