Isaiah 37:29

29. Because thy rage Thy violent carrying out of thine own will. This gives the hithpael sense of the word a moving to and fro, an active insolence.

Thy tumult Arrogant self-confidence.

Is come up into mine ears Denoting good knowledge from hearing.

Hook in thy nose The figure of the nose-ring (Ezekiel 38:4) for leading wild, intractable animals, is applied to this untamed man, showing to what humiliations he is to be subjected. The Assyrian is to be led home like a wild beast, without having conquered either Jerusalem or Egypt.
