Discovery BoxIsaiah 37:10 
Context37:10 “Tell King Hezekiah of Judah this: ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust mislead you when he says, “Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.”
Isaiah 37:23
Context37:23 Whom have you taunted and hurled insults at?
At whom have you shouted
and looked so arrogantly? 1
At the Holy One of Israel! 2
Isaiah 37:29
Context37:29 Because you rage against me
and the uproar you create has reached my ears, 3
I will put my hook in your nose, 4
and my bridle between your lips,
and I will lead you back
the way you came.”
1 tn Heb “and lifted your eyes on high?” Cf. NIV “lifted your eyes in pride”; NRSV “haughtily lifted your eyes.”
2 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
3 tc Heb “and your complacency comes up into my ears.” The parallelism is improved if שַׁאֲנַנְךָ (sha’anankha, “your complacency”) is emended to שְׁאוֹנְךָ (shÿ’onÿkha, “your uproar”). See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 237-38. However, the LXX seems to support the MT and Sennacherib’s cavalier dismissal of Yahweh depicts an arrogant complacency (J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah [NICOT], 1:658, n. 10).
4 sn The word-picture has a parallel in Assyrian sculpture. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 238.
