Isaiah 37:26-28

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁶ ‘How could you say this, Sennacherib?
    Did no one ever tell you that I, the Lord, planned these things long ago?
From ancient times I decided what would happen.
    And now I have made it happen.
I let you tear down strong cities
    and change them into piles of rocks.
²⁷ The people living there had no power.
    They were afraid and confused.
They were about to be cut down
    like grass and plants in the field.
They were like grass growing on the housetops,
    dying before it grows tall.
²⁸ I know all about your battles;
    I know when you rested,
when you went out to war,
    and when you came home.
    I also know when you got upset at me.
