Isaiah 37:22-35 This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you, and mocked you; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you, and mocked you; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you. ²³ Whom have you reproached and provoked? And against whom have you lifted up your voice? And have you not lifted up your eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel? ²⁴ For you have reproached the Lord by messengers; for you have said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Lebanon, and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses, and I entered into the height of the forest region; ²⁵ and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water. ²⁶ Have you not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed them from ancient times; but now have I manifested My purpose of desolating nations in their strongholds, and them that dwell in strong cities. ²⁷ I weakened their hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the housetops, and as grass. ²⁸ But now I know your dwelling place, and your going out, and your coming in. ²⁹ And your wrath in which you have been enraged, and your rage has come up before Me; therefore I will put a hook in your nose, and a bit in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way which you came. ³⁰ And this shall be a sign to you, Eat this year what you have sown; and the second year that which is left; and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof. ³¹ And they that are left in Judah shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward; ³² for out of Jerusalem there shall be a remnant, and the saved ones out of Mount Zion; the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this. ³³ Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not enter into this city, nor cast a weapon against it, nor bring a shield against it, nor make a rampart around it. ³⁴ But by the way in which he came, by it shall he return, and shall not enter into this city; thus says the Lord. ³⁵ I will protect this city to save it for My own sake, and for My servant David's sake.
