37:24 Through your messengers you taunted the sovereign master, ¹ 

‘With my many chariots I climbed up

the high mountains,

the slopes of Lebanon.

I cut down its tall cedars

and its best evergreens.

I invaded its most remote regions, ² 

its thickest woods.

37:25 I dug wells

and drank water. ³ 

With the soles of my feet I dried up

all the rivers of Egypt.’
