Isaiah 37:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version
23 But who was it that you insulted and made fun of?
Who was it that you spoke against?
You were speaking against the Holy One of Israel.
You acted like you were great and he was nothing.
24 You sent your officers to insult the Lord.
This is what you said:
“I took my many chariots up the high mountains
deep inside Lebanon.
I cut down its tallest cedars
and its best fir trees.
I have been on its highest mountain
and deep inside its forests.
25 I dug wells and drank water from new places.
I dried up the rivers of Egypt
and walked where the water was.”
Isaiah 37:23-25

Isaiah 37:23-25
New International Version
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(A)
Against whom have you raised your voice(B)
and lifted your eyes in pride?(C)
Against the Holy One(D) of Israel!
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
‘With my many chariots(E)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights(F) of Lebanon.(G)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.(H)
I have reached its remotest heights,
the finest of its forests.
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[a]
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up(I) all the streams of Egypt.(J)’
