Pride: The Root of Ruin
All commentators agree that the reason for the Assyrian king's downfall, and the warning to Egypt, is pride. The verse describes a leader whose 'heart is lifted up' because of his great stature and power. Scholars like John Gill connect this to the king ascribing God-given success to himself. This self-exaltation is presented as the direct cause for divine judgment.
