2 Kings 19:20-28

Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent word to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard. This is the word that the LORD has spoken concerning him: She despises you, she ridicules you— virgin daughter of Zion. Behind you, she shakes her head— daughter of Jerusalem. Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised a voice and lifted your eyes upward? Against the Holy One of Israel. By your messengers you have taunted the Lord, and have said, ‘With my many chariots I have gone up the height of the mountains, to farthest reaches of Lebanon, and I will cut down its tallest cedars, its choicest junipers. I will enter its most remote canopies of night, its dense forest. I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters, and I dried up with the sole of my foot all the streams of Egypt.’ “Have you not heard? Long ago I arranged it, in ancient times I formed it; now I bring it to pass, that you will turn impregnable cities into desolate heaps of stones. Their inhabitants are powerless; they are terrified and ashamed. They are like grass of the field and new vegetation, grass on the roof tops, scorched before it stands. “But I know your dwelling place, your going out and your coming in, and your raging against Me. Because you have raged against Me, and your self-assuredness has come up to My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bridle on your lips, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.
