2 Kings 19:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ You have taunted the Lord through your messengers by saying,
    ‘I have come up to the heights of the mountains
    with many chariots, to the peaks of Lebanon.
I have cut down tall cedars,
    choice fir trees.
I have entered its most remote stand,
    its finest forests.
²⁴ I have dug wells in foreign lands and drunk the water.
I have dried up the streams of Egypt
    with the soles of my feet.’
²⁵ “Have you not heard?
    Long ago I established it,
    in ancient times I planned it.
Now I have ordained that you break down
    fortified cities into piles of ruins.
