Isaiah 37:23-25
Good News Translation
23 Whom do you think you have been insulting and ridiculing? You have been disrespectful to me, the holy God of Israel. 24 You sent your servants to boast to me that with all your chariots you had conquered the highest mountains of Lebanon. You boasted that there you cut down the tallest cedars and the finest cypress trees, and that you reached the deepest parts of the forests. 25 You boasted that you dug wells and drank water in foreign lands, and that the feet of your soldiers tramped the Nile River dry.

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)’
