2 Kings 19:24-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 I dug wells,
and I drank foreign waters.
I dried up all the streams of Egypt(A)
with the soles of my feet.
25 Have you not heard?(B)
I designed it long ago;
I planned it in days gone by.
I have now brought it to pass,(C)
and you have crushed fortified cities
into piles of rubble.
26 Their inhabitants have become powerless,
dismayed, and ashamed.
They are plants of the field,
tender grass,
grass on the rooftops,(D)
blasted by the east wind.[a]

New International Version
24 I have dug wells in foreign lands
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
25 “‘Have you not heard?(A)
Long ago I ordained it.
In days of old I planned(B) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(C)
26 Their people, drained of power,(D)
are dismayed(E) and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,(F)
like grass sprouting on the roof,
scorched(G) before it grows up.
