Isaiah 37:27-29

Common English Bible

²⁷ Their citizens have lost their power;
    they are frightened and dismayed.
They’ve become like plants in a field,
    tender green shoots,
    the grass on rooftops,
        blasted by the east wind.
²⁸ I know where you are,
    how you go out and come in,
    and how you rage against me.
²⁹ Because you rage against me and because your pride has reached my ears,
    I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth.
    I will make you go back the same way you came.
