Isaiah 37:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
    are dismayed and frustrated;
they have become like plants of the field,
    like tender green herbs,
like grass on housetops and fields
    scorched by the east wind.
²⁸ “I know when you stand or sit,
    I know when you come in or go out,
    and I am aware how you rage against me.
²⁹ Because you have raged against me
    and your arrogance has reached my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
    and my bit in your mouth
and force you to return
    by the way you came.
