Isaiah 37:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ I have dug wells,
    have drunk water in foreign lands.^[a]
With my own feet, I dried up all of Egypt’s streams.”
²⁶ Haven’t you heard?
I set this up long ago;
        I planned it in the distant past!
Now I have made it happen,
    making fortified cities collapse into piles of rubble.
²⁷ Their citizens have lost their power;
    they are frightened and dismayed.
They’ve become like plants in a field,
    tender green shoots,
    the grass on rooftops,
        blasted by the east wind.
