I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Kings. Isaiah conveys the Lord’s response to the Assyrian threat. The message mocks Sennacherib’s arrogance and states that his advance has occurred within limits established by God. The imperial power believes its conquests depend exclusively on its own strength, but the prophet declares that the Lord knows and governs its course. It is promised that Assyria will not enter Jerusalem or shoot an arrow there. The deliverance is presented as a sign that God’s sovereignty extends even over the empire that appeared invincible.

Ich habe gegraben und ausgetrunken die fremden Wasser und werde austrocknen mit meinen Fußsohlen alle Flüsse Ägyptens."

He cavado y bebido aguas extranjeras; con la planta de mis pies he secado todos los canales de Egipto”.
J'ai creusé, et j'ai bu des eaux étrangères, Et je tarirai avec la plante de mes pieds Tous les fleuves de l'Egypte.
Io ho cavati pozzi, ed ho bevute acque strane, ed ho asciutti con le piante de’ miei piedi tutti i rivi de’ luoghi assediati.
Eu cavei, e bebi águas estranhas; e com as plantas de meus pés sequei todos os rios do Egito.
我已經在外邦挖井喝水; 我必用腳掌踏乾 埃及 一切的河流。
