Isaiah 37:22-24
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah Gives the Lord's Answer to Hezekiah
(2 Kings 19.20-34)
21-22 I went to Hezekiah and told him that the Lord God of Israel had said:
Hezekiah, you prayed to me about King Sennacherib of Assyria.[a] Now this is what I say to that king:
The people of Jerusalem
hate and make fun of you;
they laugh behind your back.
23 Sennacherib, you cursed,
shouted and sneered at me,
the holy One of Israel.
24 You let your officials
insult me, the Lord.
And here is what you
have said about yourself,
“I led my chariots
to the highest heights
of Lebanon's mountains.
I went deep into its forest,
cutting down the best cedar
and cypress trees.

Isaiah 37:22-24
New International Version
22 this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:
“Virgin Daughter(A) Zion(B)
despises and mocks you.
Daughter Jerusalem
tosses her head(C) as you flee.
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(D)
Against whom have you raised your voice(E)
and lifted your eyes in pride?(F)
Against the Holy One(G) of Israel!
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
‘With my many chariots(H)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights(I) of Lebanon.(J)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.(K)
I have reached its remotest heights,
the finest of its forests.
