Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? (even) against the Holy One of Israel.
By thy messengers thou hast defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into his farthest lodging-place, the forest of his fruitful field.
And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;
What do ye devise against Jehovah? he will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second time.
