Isaiah 37:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ Through your messengers
    you have laughed at me again and again.
And you have said,
    ‘I have many chariots.
With them I have climbed to the tops of the mountains.
    I’ve climbed the highest mountains in Lebanon.
I’ve cut down its tallest cedar trees.
    I’ve cut down the best of its juniper trees.
I’ve reached its farthest mountains.
    I’ve reached its finest forests.
²⁵ I’ve dug wells in other lands.
    I’ve drunk the water from them.
I’ve walked through all the streams of Egypt.
    I’ve dried up every one of them.’
