2 Kings 19:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 I have dug and drunk the waters of others, and with the plant of my feet have I dried all the [a]floods closed in.
25 Hast thou not heard, how I have of old time made it, and have formed it long ago? [b]and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and laid on ruinous heaps, as cities defensed?
26 Whose [c]inhabitants have small power, and are afraid, and confounded: they are like the grass of the field, and green herb, or grass on the house tops, or as corn blasted before it be grown.

2 Kings 19:24-26
New International Version
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.”
25 “‘Have you not heard?(A)
Long ago I ordained it.
In days of old I planned(B) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(C)
26 Their people, drained of power,(D)
are dismayed(E) and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,(F)
like grass sprouting on the roof,
scorched(G) before it grows up.
