Isaiah 37:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 Whose inhabitants have [a]small power, and are afraid and confounded: they are like the grass of the field and green herb, or grass on the house tops, or corn blasted [b]afore it be grown.
28 But I know thy dwelling, and thy [c]going out, and thy coming in, and thy fury against me.
29 Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come unto mine ears, therefore will I put mine [d]hook in thy nostrils, and my bridle in thy lips, and will bring thee back again the same way thou [e]camest.
