2 Kings 19:22-24
New American Standard Bible
22 Whom have you (A)taunted and (B)blasphemed?
And against whom have you raised your voice,
And [a]haughtily raised your eyes?
Against the (C)Holy One of Israel!
23 (D)Through your messengers you have taunted the Lord,
And you have said, “With my many chariots
I went up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of Lebanon;
And I cut down its tall cedars and its choicest junipers.
And I entered its farthest resting place, its (E)thickest forest.
24 I dug wells and drank foreign waters,
And with the soles of my feet I (F)dried up
All the streams of Egypt.”

Isaiah 37:24-27
New American Standard Bible
24 Through your servants you have taunted the Lord,
And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of (A)Lebanon;
And I cut down its tall (B)cedars and its choice junipers.
And I will come to its [a]highest peak, its thickest (C)forest.
25 I dug wells and drank waters,
And (D)with the sole of my feet I dried up
All the canals of [b]Egypt.’
26 (E)Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it,
From ancient times I (F)planned it.
Now (G)I have brought it about
That (H)you would turn fortified cities into (I)ruined heaps.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were [c]powerless,
They were shattered and put to shame;
They were like the (J)vegetation of the field and the green grass,
Like (K)grass on the housetops [d]that is scorched before it has grown.
