Isaiah 37:23-29

23 “‘Whom have you mocked and reviled?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes to the heights?
Against (A)the Holy One of Israel!
24 By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, (B)With my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon,
(C)to cut down its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
its most fruitful forest.
25 I dug wells
and drank waters,
to dry up with the sole of my foot
all (D)the streams (E)of Egypt.
26 (F)“‘Have you not heard
that I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what now I bring to pass,
that you should make fortified cities
crash into heaps of ruins,
27 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded,
and have become like plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
blighted[a] before it is grown.
28 “‘I know your sitting down
and your going out and coming in,
and your raging against me.
29 (G)Because you have raged against me
and your complacency has come to my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
and (H)I will turn you back on the way
by which you came.’
