ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૧૯:૨૩
તારા સંદેશાવાહકો દ્વારા તેં પ્રભુનો તિરસ્કાર કર્યો છે. તેઁ કહ્યું છે કે, ‘મારા રથોના જૂથ વડે હું પર્વતોનાં શિખર પર, લબાનોનના ઊંચા સ્થળોએ ચઢયો છું. તેનાં સૌથી ઊંચા એરેજવૃક્ષોને, તથા તેનાં ઉત્તમ દેવદારનાં વૃક્ષોને હું કાપી નાખીશ. હું તેના સૌથી ફળદ્રુપ જંગલના તથા તેના સૌથી દૂરના પ્રદેશોમાં પ્રવેશ કરીશ.
हिन्दी2 राजाओं १९:२३
अपने दूतों के द्वारा तूने प्रभु की निन्दा करके कहा है, कि बहुत से रथ लेकर मैं पर्वतों की चोटियों पर, वरन् लबानोन के बीच तक चढ़ आया हूँ, और मैं उसके ऊँचे-ऊँचे देवदारुओं और अच्छे-अच्छे सनोवर को काट डालूँगा; और उसमें जो सबसे ऊँचा टिकने का स्थान होगा उसमें और उसके वन की फलदाई बारियों में प्रवेश करूँगा।

22Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!

23By your messengers, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon, and I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.

24I have dug and drunk strange waters, and I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt with the sole of my feet.”

25Haven’t you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
