2 Kings 19:22-25

CLV(i) 22 Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Yea, you do lift up on high your eyes--Against the Holy One of Israel!" 23 By the hand of your messengers You have reproached the Lord, and say:In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains--The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel. 24 I have digged, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark. 25 Have you not heard from afar, it I made, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becomes a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fenced cities,
