25 I dug wells and drank water in foreign lands.[a]
I dried up all the streams of Egypt
with the soles of my feet.”(A)

26 Have you not heard?(B)
I designed it long ago;
I planned it in days gone by.(C)
I have now brought it to pass,
and you have crushed fortified cities(D)
into piles of rubble.
27 Their inhabitants have become powerless,
dismayed, and ashamed.
They are plants of the field,
tender grass,
grass on the rooftops,
blasted by the east wind.[b]
