This phrase is a rhetorical question posed by God through the prophet Isaiah, addressing the arrogance of the Assyrian king, Sennacherib. The context is the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem during the reign of King Hezekiah. Taunting and blaspheming refer to the Assyrian's mockery and disrespect towards the God of Israel. In the ancient Near Eastern context, blasphemy was a serious offense, often seen as a direct challenge to a deity's power. This phrase underscores the gravity of Sennacherib's actions, as he not only challenged a nation but the God who protected it. Theologically, it highlights the theme of divine retribution against those who defy God.Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Raising one's voice and lifting one's eyes in pride signifies arrogance and defiance. In biblical literature, pride is often condemned as it leads to downfall (<a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>). The Assyrian king's pride is evident in his belief that his military might could overpower any god, including the God of Israel. This phrase serves as a reminder of the biblical principle that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (<a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a>). Historically, Assyria was known for its military prowess and often attributed its success to its own strength, disregarding the power of other nations' deities.Against the Holy One of Israel! The title "Holy One of Israel" emphasizes God's unique and set-apart nature, highlighting His covenant relationship with Israel. This title is frequently used in the book of Isaiah, underscoring God's holiness and His special bond with His chosen people. By using this title, the text reinforces the idea that the Assyrian king's blasphemy is not just against any god, but against the one true God who is intimately involved with His people. This phrase also connects to the broader biblical narrative of God's faithfulness to Israel despite their unfaithfulness, and His ultimate plan of redemption through Jesus Christ, who is seen as the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/h/hezekiah.htm">Hezekiah</a> The King of Judah during the time of the Assyrian threat.

Whom hast thou dared to insult and defy?" Not an earthly king - not a mere angelic being - but the Omnipotent, the Lord of earth and heaven. What utter folly is this! What mere absurdity? And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice? i.e. "spoken proudly" - in the tone in which a superior speaks of an inferior - and lifted up thine eyes on high? - i.e. "looked down upon" - treated with contempt, as not worth consideration - even against the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah's favorite phrase - used by him twenty-seven times, and only five times in the rest of Scripture - marks this entire prophecy as his genuine utterance, net the composition of the writer of Kings, but a burst of sudden inspiration from the Coryphaeus of the prophetic band. The oracle bears all the marks of Isaiah's elevated, fervid, and highly poetic style. <a href="/commentaries/2_kings/19-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Whom מִ֤י (mî) Interrogative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4310.htm">Strong's 4310: </a> Who?, whoever, in oblique construction with prefix, suffix have you taunted חֵרַ֙פְתָּ֙ (ḥê·rap̄·tā) Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2778.htm">Strong's 2778: </a> To pull off, to expose, to betroth, to carp at, defame, to spend the winter and blasphemed? וְגִדַּ֔פְתָּ (wə·ḡid·dap̄·tā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1442.htm">Strong's 1442: </a> To revile, blaspheme Against וְעַל־ (wə·‘al-) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against whom מִ֖י (mî) Interrogative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4310.htm">Strong's 4310: </a> Who?, whoever, in oblique construction with prefix, suffix have you raised הֲרִימ֣וֹתָ (hă·rî·mō·w·ṯā) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7311.htm">Strong's 7311: </a> To be high actively, to rise, raise your voice קּ֑וֹל (qō·wl) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6963.htm">Strong's 6963: </a> A voice, sound and lifted וַתִּשָּׂ֥א (wat·tiś·śā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5375.htm">Strong's 5375: </a> To lift, carry, take your eyes עֵינֶ֖יךָ (‘ê·ne·ḵā) Noun - cdc | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5869.htm">Strong's 5869: </a> An eye, a fountain in pride? מָר֛וֹם (mā·rō·wm) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4791.htm">Strong's 4791: </a> Altitude Against עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the Holy One קְד֥וֹשׁ (qə·ḏō·wōš) Adjective - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6918.htm">Strong's 6918: </a> Sacred, God, an angel, a saint, a sanctuary of Israel! יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/2_kings/19-22.htm">2 Kings 19:22 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/2_kings/19-22.htm">OT History: 2 Kings 19:22 Whom have you defied and blasphemed?
