2 Kings 19:26-28

Common English Bible

²⁶ Their citizens have lost their power.
    They are frightened and ashamed.
They’ve become like plants in a field,
    tender green shoots,
    the grass on rooftops,
        burned up before it matures.
²⁷ I know where you live,
    how you go out and come in,
        and how you rage against me.
²⁸ And because you rage against me
    and because your pride has reached my ears,
        I will put my hook in your nose,
        and my bit in your mouth.
I will make you go back
    the same way you came.
