Holman Christian Standard Bible
Isaiah 37:25-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
26 Have you not heard?(B)
I designed it long ago;
I planned it in days gone by.(C)
I have now brought it to pass,
and you have crushed fortified cities(D)
into piles of rubble.
27 Their inhabitants have become powerless,
dismayed, and ashamed.
They are plants of the field,
tender grass,
grass on the rooftops,
blasted by the east wind.[b]

Isaiah 37:25-27
New International Version
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[a]
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up(A) all the streams of Egypt.(B)’
26 “Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained(C) it.
In days of old I planned(D) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(E)
27 Their people, drained of power,
are dismayed and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,
like grass(F) sprouting on the roof,(G)
scorched[b] before it grows up.
