God's Intimate Knowledge

Commentators explain that the phrase "your sitting down... your going out, and your coming in" is a Hebrew expression for the entirety of a person's life and plans. Echoing Psalm 139, God tells the mighty King Sennacherib that He is aware of every single movement. This is a powerful assurance that no detail of our lives, or the plans of those who oppose God's people, escapes His notice.
