Isaiah 37:25
Berean Standard Bible
I have dug wells and drunk foreign * waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
Context
23Whom have you taunted and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
Against the Holy One of Israel! 24Through your servants you have taunted the Lord,
and you have said:
“With my many chariots
I have ascended
to the heights of the mountains,
to the remote peaks of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the finest of its cypresses.*
I have reached its farthest heights,
the densest of its forests. 25I have dug wells
and drunk foreign * waters.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.” 26Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained it;
in days of old I planned it.
Now I have brought it to pass,
that you should crush fortified cities
into piles of rubble. 27Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power,
are dismayed and ashamed.
They are like plants in the field,
tender green shoots,
grass on the rooftops,
scorched * before it is grown.
