Isaiah 37:24-29

CAB(i) 24 For you have reproached the Lord by messengers; for you have said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Lebanon, and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses, and I entered into the height of the forest region; 25 and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water. 26 Have you not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed them from ancient times; but now have I manifested My purpose of desolating nations in their strongholds, and them that dwell in strong cities. 27 I weakened their hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the housetops, and as grass. 28 But now I know your dwelling place, and your going out, and your coming in. 29 And your wrath in which you have been enraged, and your rage has come up before Me; therefore I will put a hook in your nose, and a bit in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way which you came.
