God Humbles the Proud
Commentators emphasize that God's judgment is a direct response to the Assyrian king's arrogance. By using the title "the Lord, the Lord of hosts," God asserts His supreme authority over all earthly powers. The verse shows that human pride and self-glorification will ultimately be met by divine humbling, as God alone is sovereign.
