Vers. 29. Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put mine* hook in thy nostrils, and my bridle in thy lips, and will bring thee back again the same way thou camest.
Vers. 29. Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vp into mine eares, therefore will I put mine* hooke in thy nostrils, and my bridle in thy lips, and will bring thee back againe the same way thou camest.

The more the wicked are carried away with rage, furiously exalting themselves against God, the more severely doth he at the last oppose himself against their pride. He lets them take their swing for a time, and suffers them to enjoy the world at will, but after long forbearance he tames them, and restrains them, lest they should think they had all under their command. Sennacherib is a singular example hereof, for the more audacious he is to foam out his rage and fury against God, the more heavy did he feel his wrath to fall upon him whom he thus braved: which all the pack of persecutors ought to expect as well as he.
