2 Kings 19:24-26
English Standard Version
24 I dug wells
and drank foreign waters,
and I dried up with the sole of my foot
all the streams (A)of Egypt.’
25 “Have you not heard
that (B)I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what (C)now I bring to pass,
that you should turn fortified cities
into heaps of ruins,
26 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded,
and have become (D)like plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
blighted before it is grown.
2 Kings 19:24-26
King James Version
24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
25 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
