LEB(i)
22 this is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him:
She shows contempt for you; she derides you, virgin daughter of Zion; she shakes her head behind you, daughter of Jerusalem. 23 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed, and against whom have you raised up your voice and lifted your eyes upward?
To the holy one of Israel! 24 By the hand of your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said, "With my many chariots,* I myself have gone up the height of the mountains, to the remote areas of Lebanon. And I cut off ⌊its tall cedars⌋,* the choicest of its junipers. And I came to the height of its limit, the forest of its orchard.* 25 I myself dug and drank waters, and I caused all the streams of Egypt to dry up by the sole of my feet." 26 Have you not heard from ⌊a long time ago⌋?* I have made it from days of primeval time, and I formed it. Now I have brought it about, and it is for fortified cities to collapse into heaps of destroyed stones. 27 And their inhabitants are ⌊weak⌋;* they are dismayed, and they are ashamed; they have become like plants* of the field, and like greens of grass, like grass on* the roofs and a cultivated field ⌊before⌋* the standing grain. 28 And I know your sitting down and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging ⌊against⌋* me. 29 Because you were enraged ⌊against⌋* me, and your noise* has come up to* my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle on your lips, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.
