Isaiah 37:22-29 This is the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning him, "The virgin daughter of Sion hath despised thee and mocked thee; at thee the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head;

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² This is the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning him, "The virgin daughter of Sion hath despised thee and mocked thee; at thee the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head; ²³ whom hast thou reproached and provoked? Or against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, [without lifting up thine eye to the Holy One of Israel?] ²⁴ That by thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord? For thou hast said, By the multitude of my chariots, I have ascended the height of mountains, and to the utmost limits of Libanus, and cut down the lofty cedar and beautiful cypress, and entered the stately part of the forest. ²⁵ I have laid bridges and dried up waters and every collection of water ²⁶ "Hast thou not heard those things of old which I have done? From ancient times I gave command and have now pointed out to lay waste nations in strong places and them Who dwell in fortified cities. ²⁷ I weakened their hands and they were dried up, and became like dry grass on house tops, and like a blasted ear of corn. ²⁸ And now I know thy resting place and thy going out and thy coming in. As the rage with which thou hast been inflamed, ²⁹ and thy bitterness are come up to me; I will therefore put a hook in thy nose and a bridle in thy jaws; and turn thee back by the way in which thou camest."
