22 this is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him:

She shows contempt for you; she derides you, virgin daughter of Zion;
    she shakes her head behind you, daughter of Jerusalem.
23 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed,
    and against whom have you raised up your voice and lifted your eyes upward?

To the holy one of Israel!

24 By the hand of your servants you have taunted the Lord,
    and you have said, “With my many chariots,[a]
I myself have gone up the height of the mountains,
    to the remote areas of Lebanon.
And I cut off its tall cedars,[b]
    the choicest of its junipers.
And I came to the height of its limit,
    the forest of its orchard.[c]

22 this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:

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

22 This is the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
