2 Kings 19:22-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

²² ‘Whom have you ^(A)reproached and ^(B)blasphemed?
And against whom have you raised your voice,
And ^[a]haughtily lifted up your eyes?
Against the ^(C)Holy One of Israel!
²³ ‘^(D)Through your messengers you have 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 ^[b]cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses.
And I ^[c]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 ^[d](F)dried up
All the rivers of ^[e]Egypt.”
