Isaiah 37:22-24
Easy-to-Read Version
22 “So this is the Lord’s message against Sennacherib:
‘The virgin daughter Zion[a] does not think you are important.
She makes fun of you.
Daughter Jerusalem shakes her head at you
and laughs behind your back.
23 But who was it that you insulted and made fun of?
Who was it that you spoke against?
You were speaking against the Holy One of Israel.
You acted like you were great and he was nothing.
24 You sent your officers to insult the Lord.
This is what you said:
“I took my many chariots up the high mountains
deep inside Lebanon.
I cut down its tallest cedars
and its best fir trees.
I have been on its highest mountain
and deep inside its forests.

“Virgin Daughter(A) Zion(B)
despises and mocks you.

tosses her head(C) as you flee.
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(D)
Against whom have you raised your voice(E)
and lifted your eyes in pride?(F)
Against the Holy One(G) of Israel!
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
‘With my many chariots(H)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights(I) of Lebanon.(J)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.(K)
I have reached its remotest heights,
the finest of its forests.
