2 Kings 19:26 In-Context

24 I have cut down, and I have drunk strange waters, and have dried up with the soles of my feet all the shut up waters.
25 Hast thou not heard what I have done from the beginning? from the days of old I have formed it, and now I have brought it to effect: that fenced cities of fighting men should be turned to heaps of ruins:
26 And the inhabitants of them were weak of hand, they trembled and were confounded, they became like the grass of the field, and the green herb on the tops of houses, which withered before it came to maturity.
27 Thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy way I knew before, and thy rage against me.
28 Thou hast been mad against me, and thy pride hath come up to my ears: therefore I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bit between thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
