2 Kings 19:22-24

Good News Translation

²² Whom do you think you have been insulting and ridiculing? You have been disrespectful to me, the holy God of Israel. ²³ You sent your messengers to boast to me that with all your chariots you had conquered the highest mountains of Lebanon. You boasted that there you cut down the tallest cedars and the finest cypress trees and that you reached the deepest parts of the forests. ²⁴ You boasted that you dug wells and drank water in foreign lands and that the feet of your soldiers tramped the Nile River dry.
