2 Kings 19:26 In-Context

24 I have dug and drunk strange water, And with the soles of my feet I have dried up All the brooks of defense."

25 'Did you not hear long ago How I made it, From ancient times that I formed it? Now I have brought it to pass, That you should be For crushing fortified cities into heaps of ruins.

26 Therefore their inhabitants had little power; They were dismayed and confounded; They were as the grass of the field And the green herb, As the grass on the housetops And grain blighted before it is grown.

27 'But I know your dwelling place, Your going out and your coming in, And your rage against Me.

28 Because your rage against Me and your tumult Have come up to My ears, Therefore I will put My hook in your nose And My bridle in your lips, And I will turn you back By the way which you came.
