The Word of the Lord Concerning Sennacherib
“The virgin, the daughter of Zion,
Has despised you, laughed you to scorn;
The daughter of Jerusalem
Has shaken her head behind your back!
Against whom have you raised your voice,
And lifted up your eyes on high?
Against the Holy One of Israel.
And said, ‘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 its farthest height,
To its fruitful forest.
And with the soles of my feet I have dried up
All the brooks of1 defense.’
How I made it,
From ancient times that I formed it?
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should be
For crushing fortified cities into heaps of ruins.
| << Isaiah 37:21 | Isaiah 37:23 >> |
