Isaiah 37:25-27
Names of God Bible
25 I’ll dig wells and drink water.
I’ll dry up all the streams of Egypt
with the trampling of my feet.”
26 “‘Haven’t you heard? I did this long ago.
I planned it in the distant past.
Now I make it happen so that you will turn fortified cities
into piles of rubble.
27 Those who live in these cities are weak, discouraged, and ashamed.
They will be like plants in the field,
like fresh, green grass on the roofs,
dried up by the east wind.
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.
