Isaiah 37:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 I have dug, [a]and drunk the waters, and with the plant of my feet have I dried all the rivers closed in.
26 Hast thou not heard how I have of old time made it, [b]and have formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and laid on ruinous heaps, as cities defensed?
27 Whose inhabitants have [c]small power, and are afraid and confounded: they are like the grass of the field and green herb, or grass on the house tops, or corn blasted [d]afore it be grown.
