In context — Isaiah 37:24
By the hand of your servants you have reproached the Lord , and you said, “By the multitude of my chariotry I have ascended to the height of the mountains, to the remote parts of Lebanon; I will cut down the stature of its cedars and the choicest of its cypresses, and I will come to the height of its extremity, the forest of its Carmel.”
