2 Kings 19:25-27

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁵ [But, says the God of Israel] Have you not heard how I ordained long ago what now I have brought to pass? I planned it in olden times, that you [king of Assyria] should [be My instrument to] lay waste fortified cities, making them ruinous heaps.

²⁶ That is why their inhabitants had little power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were like plants of the field, the green herb, the grass on the housetops, blasted before it is grown up.

²⁷ But [O Sennacherib] I [the Lord] know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against Me.
