Isaiah 37:26

---

← Isaiah 37:25	Isaiah 37:26 (KJV)	Isaiah 37:27 →
I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.	Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have done it; [and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities [into] ruinous heaps.	Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and [as corn] blasted before it be grown up.
