2 Kings 19:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 I have dug and drunk the waters of others, and with the plant of my feet have I dried all the [a]floods closed in.
25 Hast thou not heard, how I have of old time made it, and have formed it long ago? [b]and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and laid on ruinous heaps, as cities defensed?
26 Whose [c]inhabitants have small power, and are afraid, and confounded: they are like the grass of the field, and green herb, or grass on the house tops, or as corn blasted before it be grown.
