Historically, this refers to the period when God allowed the Assyrian empire to act as an instrument of judgment against the Israelites due to their disobedience and idolatry. Mount Zion and Jerusalem are central to Jewish identity, representing the spiritual and political heart of Israel. The completion of God's work suggests a finite period of judgment, emphasizing God's sovereignty and justice. This also foreshadows the eventual restoration and redemption of Jerusalem, aligning with prophecies found in <a href="/isaiah/40.htm">Isaiah 40-66</a>.He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria The king of Assyria, likely Sennacherib during Isaiah's time, is depicted as an instrument of God's judgment, yet he is not exempt from accountability. Assyria was a dominant power known for its military prowess and brutality, often seen as a threat to smaller nations like Israel and Judah. This punishment reflects the biblical principle that while God may use nations to fulfill His purposes, they are still subject to His moral law and justice. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative where God holds all nations accountable, as seen in the prophecies against Babylon (Isaiah 13) and other nations.for the fruit of his arrogant heart The "fruit" symbolizes the outcomes or actions resulting from the king's pride. In biblical terms, pride is a grievous sin, often leading to downfall, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>. The Assyrian king's arrogance is highlighted by his belief in his invincibility and self-sufficiency, disregarding God's sovereignty. This mirrors the pride of other biblical figures like Pharaoh in Exodus, who also faced divine judgment. The emphasis on the heart underscores the biblical teaching that God judges not only actions but the intentions and attitudes behind them (<a href="/1_samuel/16-7.htm">1 Samuel 16:7</a>).and the proud look in his eyes. The "proud look" is a metaphor for the king's haughty demeanor and self-exaltation. In ancient Near Eastern culture, kings often viewed themselves as divine or semi-divine, demanding worship and absolute loyalty. This pride is condemned throughout Scripture, as God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (<a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a>). The imagery of the eyes reflects the biblical understanding that one's inner character is often revealed through their outward expressions. This serves as a warning against the dangers of pride and the importance of humility before God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The Lord</a> The sovereign God who orchestrates events according to His divine plan and justice. 2. <a href="/topical/m/mount_zion_and_jerusalem.htm">Mount Zion and Jerusalem</a> Represent the people of God, specifically the Israelites, who are under God's judgment and protection. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_king_of_assyria.htm">The King of Assyria</a> A representation of human pride and arrogance, used by God as an instrument of judgment but also subject to God's justice. 4. <a href="/topical/a/assyria.htm">Assyria</a> A powerful empire used by God to discipline Israel but ultimately held accountable for its own pride and actions. 5. <a href="/topical/j/judgment_and_punishment.htm">Judgment and Punishment</a> The divine actions taken by God to correct and discipline His people and to hold nations accountable for their pride and sin.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_judgment.htm">God's Sovereignty in Judgment</a> God uses nations and leaders to accomplish His purposes, but they remain accountable for their actions. <a href="/topical/t/the_danger_of_pride.htm">The Danger of Pride</a> Pride leads to downfall, as seen in the Assyrian king's fate.

The fruit of the stout heart; i.e. the actions, language, etc., which flowed from the stoutness of heart - such language, e.g., as that of vers. 8-11 and 13, 14. Of the King of Assyria. The menace is not leveled against any one particular king, as Sargon, or Sennacherib; but against the monarchy itself, which from first to last was actuated by the same spirit, and breathed the same tone, of pride, selfishness, and cruelty.
