Ved dine Sendebud håned du HERREN og sagde: "Med mine talløse Vogne besteg jeg Bjergenes Højder, Libanons afsides Egne; jeg fælded dets Cedres Højskov, dets ædle Cypresser, trængte frem til dets øverste Raststed, dets Havers Skove.
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
