Isaiah 37:3-4

37:4 Perhaps the
Lord your God will hear all these things the chief adviser has spoken on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria, who sent him to taunt the living God.
When the

So pray for this remnant that remains.’”

At whom have you shouted
and looked so arrogantly?
At the Holy One of Israel!

‘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,
its thickest woods.
