2 Kings 19:24

Isaiah Brings A Prophetic Response

²³ ‘Through your messengers you have reproached the Lord,
And you have said, “With my many chariots
I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of Lebanon;
And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses.
And I entered its farthest lodging place, its thickest forest.
²⁴ “I dug wells and drank foreign waters,
And with the sole of my feet I dried up
All the rivers of Egypt.”
²⁵ ‘Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it;
From ancient times I planned it.
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should turn fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
