22 So this is what the Lord has said against Sennacherib:

The people of Jerusalem
    hate you and make fun of you.
The people of Jerusalem
    laugh at you as you run away.
23 You have insulted me and spoken against me.
    You have raised your voice against me.
You have a proud look on your face.
    You disobey me, the Holy One of Israel!
24 You have used your messengers to insult the Lord.
    You have said, “I have many chariots.
With them I have gone to the tops of the mountains.
    I have climbed the highest mountains of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars.
    I have cut down its best pine trees.
I have gone to its greatest heights.
    I have gone to its best forests.

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.
