2 Kings 19:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ I have dug wells,
    have drunk waters in foreign lands.^[a]
With my own feet, I dried up
        all of Egypt’s streams.’
²⁵ Haven’t you heard?
I set this up long ago;
        I planned it in the distant past!
Now I have made it happen,
    making fortified cities
        collapse into piles of rubble.
²⁶ Their citizens have lost their power.
    They are frightened and ashamed.
They’ve become like plants in a field,
    tender green shoots,
    the grass on rooftops,
        burned up before it matures.
