2 Kings 19:22-24

Common English Bible

²² Whom did you insult and ridicule?
    Against whom did you raise your voice
        and pridefully lift your eyes?
    It was against the holy one of Israel!
²³ You’ve insulted the Lord with your messengers;
    you said, ‘I, with my many chariots,
        have gone up to the highest mountains,
        to the farthest reaches of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
    the best of its pine trees.
I have reached its most remote lodging place,
    its best forest.
²⁴ I have dug wells,
    have drunk waters in foreign lands.^[a]
With my own feet, I dried up
        all of Egypt’s streams.’
