Isaiah 37:25-27
New American Standard Bible 1995
25 ‘I dug wells and drank waters,
And (A)with the sole of my feet I dried up
All the rivers of [a]Egypt.’
26 “(B)Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it,
From ancient times I (C)planned it.
Now (D)I have brought it to pass,
That (E)you should turn fortified cities into (F)ruinous heaps.
27 “Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength,
They were dismayed and put to shame;
They were as the (G)vegetation of the field and as the green herb,
As (H)grass on the housetops [b]is scorched before it is grown up.

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.
