2 Kings 19:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² “Whom have you mocked and reviled?
    Against whom have you raised your voice
and haughtily lifted your eyes?
    Against the Holy One of Israel!
²³ By your messengers you have mocked the Lord,
    and you have said, ‘With my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
    to the far recesses of Lebanon;
I felled its tallest cedars,
    its choicest cypresses;
I entered its farthest retreat,
    its densest forest.
²⁴ I dug wells
    and drank foreign waters,
I dried up with the sole of my foot
    all the streams of Egypt.’
