New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 37:25-27
New American Standard Bible
25 I dug wells and drank waters,
And (A)with the sole of my feet I dried up
All the canals of [a]Egypt.’
26 (B)Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it,
From ancient times I (C)planned it.
Now (D)I have brought it about
That (E)you would turn fortified cities into (F)ruined heaps.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were [b]powerless,
They were shattered and put to shame;
They were like the (G)vegetation of the field and the green grass,
Like (H)grass on the housetops [c]that is scorched before it has grown.

New International Version
Isaiah 37:25-27
New International Version
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[a]
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up(A) all the streams of Egypt.(B)’
26 “Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained(C) it.
In days of old I planned(D) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(E)
27 Their people, drained of power,
are dismayed and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,
like grass(F) sprouting on the roof,(G)
scorched[b] before it grows up.
