Context — Sennacherib’s Fall Prophesied
20Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria.
21This is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.
22Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!
23Through your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the finest of its cypresses. I have reached its farthest outposts, the densest of its forests. 24I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”Cross References

He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes. But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this. Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways. |
2 Kings 19:22 Summary
[This verse is a powerful reminder that God is holy and separate from all other gods, and that He opposes pride and arrogance, as seen in Proverbs 16:5. When we 'raise our voice and lift our eyes in pride', we are essentially taunting and blaspheming God, which is a serious sin. However, God is gracious and forgiving to those who humble themselves and seek His mercy, as seen in 1 Peter 5:5 and Psalm 51:17. By recognizing God's holiness and our own sinfulness, we can come to a place of true humility and worship.]

Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 19:22
[See comments on 2 Kings 19:1]
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 19:22
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel. Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:22
Exalted thy voice; by Rab-shakeh, who cried with a loud voice, . Lifted up thine eyes on high; a gesture of pride and scornfulness, . Against the Holy One of Israel: not against man, but against the holy God, who will not suffer thy impious blasphemies to go unpunished; and against the Holy One of Israel, who hath a special relation and kindness to Israel, having as it were set himself apart for them, and set them apart for himself, as being at this time the God of the Jews only, and not the God of the Gentiles; whom, as yet, he suffered to walk in their own evil ways, . And therefore he will plead their cause against thee.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:22
2 Kings 19:22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] against the Holy [One] of Israel.Ver. 22. Against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high?] God is "jealous for Jerusalem with a great jealousy." He soon took notice of Cain’ s frowns; Laban’ s lowerings; Rabshakeh’ s outcries here; those miscreants lolling out the tongue; their wagging the head at Christ on the cross.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:22
(22) On high—i.e., towards heaven (Isaiah 40:26). (Comp. Isaiah 14:13-14.)The Holy One of Israel.—A favourite expression of Isaiah’s, in whose book it occurs twenty-seven times, and only five times elsewhere in the Old Testameut (Psalms 71:22; Psalms 78:41; Psalms 89:19; Jeremiah 50:29; Jeremiah 51:5).
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 19:22
22. and lift [R.V. lifted] up thine eyes on high] The name by which Jehovah is often called is ‘the Most High’ (cf. Psalms 56:2). To utter reproaches and blasphemies against Him betrays a great uplifting of the eyes, a terrible excess of arrogancy. the Holy One of Israel] This title of God, which occurs very frequently in Isaiah, signifies not only that God Himself is holy and specially gracious unto Israel, but that He makes the people holy also, separate from the rest of the world and sanctified by and for Himself. It expresses both the praise of God, and the privilege of His people.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 19:22
The Holy One of Israel - This is a favorite phrase with Isaiah, in whose prophecies it is found 27 times, while it occurs five times only in the rest of Scripture Psalms 71:22; Psalms 78:41; Psalms
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:22
22. Whom hast thou reproached — Art thou aware of the exalted and holy character of Him against whom thou hast exalted thyself?
