Against whom have you raised your voice,
And lifted up your eyes on high?
Against athe Holy One of Israel.

23 aBy your messengers you have reproached the Lord,
And said: b“By the multitude of my chariots
I have come up to the height of the mountains,
To the limits of Lebanon;
I will cut down its tall cedars
And its choice cypress trees;
I will enter the extremity of its borders,
To its fruitful forest.

24 I have dug and drunk strange water,
And with the soles of my feet I have adried up
All the brooks of defense.”
And with the soles of my feet I have adried up
All the brooks of defense.”
25 ‘Did you not hear long ago
How aI made it,
From ancient times that I formed it?
Now I have brought it to pass,
That byou should be
For crushing fortified cities into heaps of ruins.

26 Therefore their inhabitants had little power;
They were dismayed and confounded;
They were as the grass of the field
And the green herb,
As athe grass on the housetops
And grain blighted before it is grown.
They were dismayed and confounded;
They were as the grass of the field
And the green herb,
As athe grass on the housetops
And grain blighted before it is grown.
