Isaiah 37:24-26

New Life Version

²⁴ Through your servants you have spoken against the Lord. You have said, ‘I came up to the high mountains with my many war-wagons, to the farthest parts of Lebanon. I cut down its tall cedar trees and its best cypress trees. I came to its highest mountain top, and to the place that has the most trees. ²⁵ I dug wells in strange lands and drank water there. With the bottom of my feet I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.’ ²⁶ Have you not heard that I planned this long ago? From days of old I planned it. Now I have made it happen, that you should turn strong cities built for battles into waste lands.
