Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 37:29

"Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest." — Isaiah 37:29 (ASV)

Therefore will I put my hook in your nose ... — The Assyrian sculptures represent both beasts and men as dragged in this way (Ezekiel 38:4). (Compare to the same image in Isaiah 30:28.)
