22 Whom have you [a](A)reproached and (B)blasphemed?
And against whom have you heightened your voice,
And [b]haughtily lifted up your eyes?
Against the (C)Holy One of Israel!
23 (D)Through your messengers you have [c]reproached the Lord,
And you have said, “With my many chariots
I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of Lebanon;
And I [d]cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses.
And I [e]entered its farthest lodging place, its (E)thickest forest.
24 I dug wells and drank foreign waters,
And with the sole of my feet I [f](F)dried up
All the rivers of [g]Egypt.”
