24 Through your servants you have reproached the Lord,
And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of aLebanon;
And I cut down its tall bcedars and its choice cypresses.
And I will go to its highest peak, its thickest cforest.
25 I dug wells and drank waters,
And awith the sole of my feet I dried up
All the rivers of Egypt.’
26 aHave you not heard?
Long ago I did it;
From days of old I bformed it.
Now cI have brought it to pass,
That dyou should devastate fortified cities into eruinous heaps.
