Isaiah 37:25-27

English Standard Version Anglicised

²⁵ I dug wells
    and drank waters,
to dry up with the sole of my foot
    all ^(A)the streams ^(B)of Egypt.
^26 (C)“‘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,
²⁷ while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
    are dismayed and confounded,
and have become like plants of the field
    and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
    blighted^[a] before it is grown.
