Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife.
Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast.
Now stay at home.
Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”
