    and you have said, ^(B)‘With my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
    to the far recesses of ^(C)Lebanon;
I felled its tallest cedars,
    its choicest cypresses;
I entered its farthest lodging place,
    its most ^(D)fruitful forest.

²⁴ By your servants you have mocked the Lord,

^(B)to cut down its tallest cedars,
    its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
    its most fruitful forest.
