⁸ Even the junipers^(A) and the cedars of Lebanon
    gloat over you and say,
“Now that you have been laid low,
    no one comes to cut us down.”^(B)

²⁴ By your messengers
    you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
    ‘With my many chariots^(A)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
    the utmost heights^(B) of Lebanon.^(C)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
    the choicest of its junipers.^(D)
I have reached its remotest heights,
    the finest of its forests.
