22  “Whom have you ^ymocked and ^zreviled?

Against whom have you raised your voice

and lifted your eyes to the heights?

Against ^athe Holy One of Israel!

23  ^bBy your messengers you have mocked the Lord,

and you have said, ^c‘With my many chariots

I have gone up the heights of the mountains,

to the far recesses of ^dLebanon;

I felled its tallest cedars,

its choicest cypresses;

I entered its farthest lodging place,

its most ^efruitful forest.

24  I dug wells

and drank foreign waters,

and I dried up with the sole of my foot

all the streams ^fof Egypt.’
