Isaiah 37:27-29

English Standard Version Anglicised

²⁷ while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
    are dismayed and confounded,
and have become like plants of the field
    and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
    blighted^[a] before it is grown.
²⁸ “‘I know your sitting down
    and your going out and coming in,
    and your raging against me.
^29 (A)Because you have raged against me
    and your complacency has come to my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
    and my bit in your mouth,
and ^(B)I will turn you back on the way
    by which you came.’
