2 Kings 19:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁵ Have you not heard?
From long ago I, the Lord, did this.
From days of eternity I formed it,
and now I have brought it about
    that fortified cities crash into piles of ruined stones.
²⁶ Their inhabitants, powerless, are dismayed and ashamed.
They are like plants in the field and fresh green grass,
like grass on the roof, scorched before it becomes a full-grown stalk.
