Isaiah 37:29 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 37:29
The judgment imagery "I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips" depicts Sennacherib as a wild animal God will control. Ancient Near Eastern conquerors led captives with hooks and bridles, humiliating them. God will do to Assyria what Assyria did to others. "I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest" promises forced retreat without conquering Jerusalem. The punishment fits the crime—proud Assyria will be humiliated and controlled like a beast.
