Isaiah 37:23-25

Living Bible

²³ Who is it you scoffed against and mocked? Whom did you revile? At whom did you direct your violence and pride? It was against the Holy One of Israel! ²⁴ You have sent your messengers to mock the Lord. You boast, ‘I came with my mighty army against the nations of the west. I cut down the tallest cedars and choicest cypress trees. I conquered their highest mountains and destroyed their thickest forests.’

²⁵ “You boast of wells you’ve dug in many a conquered land, and Egypt with all its armies is no obstacle to you!
