Isaiah 37:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord: and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus: and I will out down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees, and will enter to the top of its height, to the forest of its Carmel.

²⁵ I have digged, and drunk water, and have dried up with the sole of my foot, all the rivers shut up in banks.

²⁶ Hast thou not heard what I have done to him of old? from the days of old I have formed it: and now I have brought it to effect: and it hath come to pass that hills fighting together, and fenced cities should be destroyed.
