Because your rage against Me The Hebrew word for "rage" here is "שָׁאוֹן" (sha'on), which conveys a sense of tumultuous noise or uproar. This word choice emphasizes the intensity and volume of the Assyrian king's defiance against God. Historically, the Assyrians were known for their brutal military campaigns and their prideful declarations against the nations they conquered. This phrase highlights the personal affront to God, as the Assyrian king's rage is not just against Judah but directly against the Lord Himself. It serves as a reminder that God is attentive to the actions and attitudes of nations and individuals, and He takes personal offense when His sovereignty is challenged. and your arrogance have reached My ears I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth and I will send you back the way you came I will put my hook . . . lips.--Comp. the Note on 2Chronicles 33:11, where this threat is shown to be no mere figure of speech. Keil's remark, however, is also to the purpose: "The metaphor is taken from wild animals, which are thus held in check--the ring in the nose of lions (Ezekiel 19:4), and other wild beasts (Ezekiel 29:4; Isaiah 30:28), the bridle in the mouth of intractable horses" (Psalm 32:9). This agrees with "I will turn thee back," &c. (With this last comp. 2Kings 18:24). . . . Verse 28. - Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult - rather, thy arrogancy (see the Revised Version); שׁאנן is rather the quiet security of extreme pride and self-confidence than "tumult" - is come up into mine ears - i.e. has attracted my notice - therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips. The imagery is most striking. Captive kings were actually so treated by the Assyrians themselves. A hook or split-ring was thrust through the cartilage of the nose, or the fleshy part of the under lip, with a rope or thong attached to it, and in this guise they were led into the monarch's presence, to receive their final sentence at his hands. In the sculptures of Sargon at Khorsabad we see three prisoners brought before him in this fashion, one of whom he seems to be about to kill with a spear ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. 1. p. 367). In another sculpture set up by a Babylonian king, his vizier brings before him two captives similarly treated, but with the ring, apparently, passed through the cartilage of their noses (ibid., vol. 3. p. 436) Manasseh seems to have received the same treatment at the hands of the "captains" (2 Chronicles 33:11) who brought him a prisoner to Esarhaddon at Babylon. Other allusions to the practice in Scripture will be found in Isaiah 30:28; Ezekiel 29:4; Ezekiel 38:4. The threat in the present passage was, of course, not intended to be understood life-rally, but only as a declaration that God would bring down the pride of Sennacherib, humiliate him, and reduce him to a state of abject weakness and abasement. And I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest (comp. ver. 33). The meaning is clear. Sennacherib would not be allowed to come near Jerusalem. He would hurry back by the low coast route (2 Kings 18:17), by which he had made his invasion.Parallel Commentaries ...
