Isaiah 37:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷Their inhabitants are devoid of power,
    and are terrified and put to shame.
They’ve become like plants in the field,
    like^[a] green shoots,
like grass on rooftops,
    scorched by the east wind.^[b]

²⁸“‘I know when you rise up
    and^[c] when you sit down,
your comings and goings—
    and how you’ve become enraged at me.
²⁹Your insolence^[d] has reached my ears,
    so I’ll put my hook in your nose
        and my bit in your mouth,^[e]
and I’ll make you turn back on the road
    by which you came.
