2 Kings 19:22-24

The Message

²² Who do you think it is you’ve insulted?
    Who do you think you’ve been bad-mouthing?
Before whom do you suppose you’ve been strutting?
    The Holy One of Israel, that’s who!
²³ You dispatched your errand boys
    to humiliate the Master.
You bragged, “With my army of chariots
    I’ve climbed the highest mountains,
    snow-peaked alpine Lebanon mountains!
I’ve cut down its giant cedars,
    chopped down its prize pine trees.
I’ve traveled the world,
    visited the finest forest retreats.
²⁴ I’ve dug wells in faraway places
    and drunk their exotic waters;
I’ve waded and splashed barefoot
    in the rivers of Egypt.”
