2 Kings 19:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 I dug wells
and drank foreign waters,
I dried up with the sole of my foot
all the streams of Egypt.’(A)
25 Have you not heard
that I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what now I bring to pass,
that you should make fortified cities
crash into heaps of ruins,(B)
26 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded;
they have become like plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops
that is scorched before the east wind.[a](C)
