23 By means of your messengers+ you have taunted Jehovah* and you say,+

‘With the multitude* of my war chariots I myself+—

I shall certainly ascend the height of mountainous regions,+

The remotest parts of Lebʹa·non;+

And I shall cut down its lofty cedars,+ its choice juniper trees.+

And I will enter its final lodging place, the forest of its orchard.+
