Summary

This verse portrays God's judgment upon Assyria for its pride and arrogance in conquering nations. Despite being used as a tool of discipline by God, Assyria's leaders failed to recognize that their power was granted by Him. The passage serves as a reminder that God is sovereign over all nations and rulers, and He will hold them accountable for their actions. It also highlights the consequences of human pride and the importance of humility before God.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

The Lord "Jehovah" - For אדני Adonai, fourteen MSS. and three editions read יהוה Yehovah. The fruit "The effect" - "פרי peri, f. צבי tsebi, vid. Isa 13:19, sed confer, Pro 1:31; Pro 31:16, Pro 31:31." - Secker. The Chaldee renders the word פרי peri by עיבדי obadey, works; which seems to be the true sense; and I have followed it. - L.

John Gill Bible Commentary

For he saith, by the strength of my hand I have done it,.... Meaning either that by the power of his army, which was under his command, or by his own personal valour, he had subdued kings, taken their kingdoms and chief cities, and ascribes nothing to the power aud providence of God; and if such arrogance and haughtiness, in things of a civil nature, is an instance of vanity, and is resented by the Lord, then much more such conduct in things of a religious nature, when men ascribe regeneration, conversion, and salvation, to the power of their free will, and to the works of their hands, and not to the power and grace of God: and by my wisdom, for I am prudent; attributing his conquests partly to his power, and partly to his skill and prudence in marshalling his army, making use of stratagems to decoy the enemy, and get an advantage of him; whereas strength and power, and so wisdom and prudence, are from the Lord; as he gives safety, victory, and salvation to kings, so he teaches their hands to war, and their fingers to fight; which they ought to acknowledge, and will, unless vain and proud: and I have removed the bounds of the people; by subduing kingdoms, and adding them to his own, so that they were no more distinct governments; and by transplanting the inhabitants of them to other places, and making new colonies and settlements; and so the Targum, "and I have removed the people from province to province:'' taking that to himself which belongs to God, who has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of men's habitations: and have robbed their treasures: laid up in palaces, temples, sepulchres, and private houses, for time to come, which are usually plundered when cities and towns are taken; the Targum renders it, "their laudable cities:'' and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man; from their greatness, from their seats of honour and dignity; or I have put down many inhabitants, as Jarchi, and reduced great numbers to a low and mean estate. The Targum is, "I have brought down with strength they that dwell in fortified places;'' and so Aben Ezra and Kimchi explain it, they that dwell in a strong place or palace.
