22 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(A)
    Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
    Against the Holy One(B) of Israel!
23 By your messengers
    you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,(C)
    “With my many chariots(D)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
    the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down(E) its tallest cedars,
    the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest parts,
    the finest of its forests.
