22 Whom are you defying and slandering?
    Against whom are you shouting?
        Who are you looking at so arrogantly?
            It is Qedosh Yisrael!
23 Through your servants[a] you defy Adonay and say,
    “With my many chariots I’ll ride up the high mountains,
        up the slopes of Lebanon.
            I’ll cut down its tallest cedars and its finest cypresses.
            I’ll come to its most distant borders
                and its most fertile forests.
24 I’ll dig wells and drink foreign water.
    I’ll dry up all the streams of Egypt
        with the trampling of my feet.”

  1. 2 Kings 19:23 Isaiah 37:24; Masoretic Text “kings.”

22 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(A)
    Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
    Against the Holy One(B) of Israel!
23 By your messengers
    you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,(C)
    “With my many chariots(D)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
    the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down(E) its tallest cedars,
    the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest parts,
    the finest of its forests.
24 I have dug wells in foreign lands
    and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
    I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
