Isaiah 37:22-25
The Message
21-25 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent this word to Hezekiah: “God’s Message, the God of Israel: Because you brought King Sennacherib of Assyria to me in prayer, here is my answer, God’s answer:
“‘She has no use for you, Sennacherib, nothing but contempt,
this virgin daughter Zion.
She spits at you and turns on her heel,
this daughter Jerusalem.
“‘Who do you think you’ve been mocking and reviling
all these years?
Who do you think you’ve been jeering
and treating with such utter contempt
All these years?
The Holy of Israel!
You’ve used your servants to mock the Master.
You’ve bragged, “With my fleet of chariots
I’ve gone to the highest mountain ranges,
penetrated the far reaches of Lebanon,
Chopped down its giant cedars,
its finest cypresses.
I conquered its highest peak,
explored its deepest forest.
I dug wells
and drank my fill.
I emptied the famous rivers of Egypt
with one kick of my foot.”
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.
