2 Kings 19:25-27

New Century Version

²⁵ “‘King of Assyria, surely you have heard.
    Long ago I, the Lord, planned these things.
Long ago I designed them,
    and now I have made them happen.
I allowed you to turn those strong, walled cities
    into piles of rocks.
²⁶ The people in those cities were weak;
    they were frightened and put to shame.
They were like grass in the field,
    like tender, young grass,
like grass on the housetop
    that is burned by the wind before it can grow.

²⁷ “‘I know when you rest,
    when you come and go,
    and how you rage against me.
