Christian Standard Bible
Isaiah 37:27-29
Christian Standard Bible
27 Their inhabitants have become powerless,
dismayed, and ashamed.
They are plants of the field,
tender grass,
grass on the rooftops,
blasted by the east wind.[a]
28 But I know your sitting down,
your going out and your coming in,(A)
and your raging against me.
29 Because your raging against me
and your arrogance have reached my ears,(B)
I will put my hook in your nose(C)
and my bit in your mouth;(D)
I will make you go back
the way you came.

Isaiah 37:27-29
King James Version
27 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 housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
