23 Whom have you reproached and blasphemed?
    And against whom have you raised your voice,
and lifted up your eyes haughtily?
    Against the Holy One of Israel!
24 Through your servants
    you have reproached the Lord
and have said,
    ‘With my many chariots
I have come up to the heights of the mountains,
    to the remotest parts of Lebanon;
and I cut down its tall cedars,
    and its choice fir trees;
and I will go to its highest peak,
    its thickest forest.
25 I have dug wells
    and drunk water,
and with the sole of my feet
    I have dried up all the rivers of Egypt.’

    the choicest of its junipers.(H)
I have reached its remotest heights,
    the finest of its forests.
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[a]
    and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
    I have dried up(I) all the streams of Egypt.(J)
