They have become hardened; their mouths speak arrogantly.They advance against me; now they surround me. They are determined to throw me to the ground.They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush.Rise up, Lord! Confront him; bring him down. With Your sword, save me from the wicked.

2 Kings 18 28-2 Kings 18 32
The Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew. Then he spoke:“ Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.This is what the king says:‘ Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; he can’t deliver you from my hand.Don’t let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the Lord by saying: Certainly the Lord will deliver us! This city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.’“ Don’t listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says:‘ Make peace with me and surrender to me. Then every one of you may eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and every one may drink water from his own cisternuntil I come and take you away to a land like your own land— a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey— so that you may live and not die. But don’t listen to Hezekiah when he misleads you, saying: The Lord will deliver us.

Isaiah 10:8-13
For he says,“ Aren’t all my commanders kings?Isn’t Calno like Carchemish? Isn’t Hamath like Arpad? Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms, whose idols exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,and as I did to Samaria and its idols will I not also do to Jerusalem and its idols?”But when the Lord finishes all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say,“ I will punish the king of Assyria for his arrogant acts and the proud look in his eyes.”For he said: I have done this by my own strength and wisdom, for I am clever. I abolished the borders of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty warrior, I subjugated the inhabitants.

Ezekiel 31:3-10
Think of Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches and shady foliage and of lofty height. Its top was among the clouds.The waters caused it to grow; the underground springs made it tall, directing their rivers all around the place where the tree was planted and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.Therefore the cedar became greater in height than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the plentiful water.All the birds of the sky nested in its branches, and all the animals of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.It was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant water.The cedars in God’s garden could not rival it; the pine trees couldn’t compare with its branches, nor could the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with it in beauty.I made it beautiful with its many limbs, and all the trees of Eden, which were in God’s garden, envied it.“ Therefore this is what the Lord God says: Since it became great in height and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,

1 Samuel 17 8-1 Samuel 17 11
He stood and shouted to the Israelite battle formations:“ Why do you come out to line up in battle formation?” He asked them,“ Am I not a Philistine and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.If he wins in a fight against me and kills me, we will be your servants. But if I win against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”Then the Philistine said,“ I defy the ranks of Israel today. Send me a man so we can fight each other!”When Saul and all Israel heard these words from the Philistine, they lost their courage and were terrified.

Psalms 73:8-9
