23 “‘Whom have you mocked and reviled?
    Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes to the heights?
    Against (A)the Holy One of Israel!
24 By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
    and you have said, (B)With my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
    to the far recesses of Lebanon,
(C)to cut down its tallest cedars,
    its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
    its most fruitful forest.
25 I dug wells
    and drank waters,
to dry up with the sole of my foot
    all (D)the streams (E)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)
