Isaiah 37:27
Berean Standard Bible
Therefore 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.
Context
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. 28But I know your sitting down,
your going out and coming in,
and your raging against Me. 29Because your rage and arrogance against Me
have reached My ears,
I will put My hook in your nose
and My bit in your mouth;
I will send you back
the way you came.’
