Isaiah 37:25-27

Modern English Version

²⁶ “Have you not heard?
    Long ago I have done it,
from ancient times I have formed it.
    Now I have brought it to pass,
that you should turn fortified cities
    into ruinous heaps.
²⁷ Therefore, their inhabitants were short of strength;
    they were dismayed and humiliated;
they were as the grass of the field
    and as the green herb,
as the grass on the housetops
    is scorched before it is grown up.
