2 Kings 19:21-23
Easy-to-Read Version
21 “This is the Lord’s message against Sennacherib:
‘The virgin daughter Zion[a] does not think you are important.
She makes fun of you.
Daughter Jerusalem shakes her head at you
and laughs behind your back.
22 But who did you insult and make fun of?
Who did you speak against?
You were against the Holy One of Israel.
You acted like you were better than he was!
23 You sent your messengers to insult the Lord.
You said, “I came with my many chariots to the high mountains deep inside Lebanon.
I cut down the tallest cedar trees and the best fir trees of Lebanon.
I went to its highest mountains, its thickest forests.

Daughter Jerusalem
tosses her head(E) as you flee.

Against the Holy One(G) of Israel!
23 By your messengers

I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down(J) its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest parts,
the finest of its forests.
