Context — Sennacherib’s Fall Prophesied
26Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it; in days of old I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should crush fortified cities into piles of rubble.
27Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.
28But I know your sitting down, your going out and coming in, and your raging against Me.
29Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’ 30And this will be a sign to you, O Hezekiah: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. But in the third year you will sow and reap; you will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.Cross References

Isaiah 37:28 Summary
[This verse means that God sees everything we do, from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep, and He knows our thoughts and feelings, just like it says in Psalm 139:1-6. He knows when we are happy, sad, or angry, and He knows when we are disobeying Him. God wants us to remember that He is always with us and that He cares about what we do, as seen in Matthew 28:20, where Jesus promises to be with us always. By recognizing God's presence in our lives, we can live in a way that honors Him and seeks to please Him.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that God knows our sitting down and going out?
This phrase means that God is aware of every aspect of our lives, from our rest to our activities, as seen in Psalm 139:2, where it says God knows our sitting down and our rising up.
Why does God mention the rage against Him?
God mentions the rage against Him to emphasize that He is fully aware of the intentions and emotions of those who oppose Him, much like in Romans 1:18, where God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.
How can we apply this verse to our own lives?
We can apply this verse by recognizing that God is always aware of our thoughts and actions, and seeking to align them with His will, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6, where we are told to trust in the Lord with all our heart.
What is the significance of God's knowledge of our actions?
The significance of God's knowledge of our actions is that it demonstrates His sovereignty and omnipresence, as stated in Jeremiah 23:24, where it says that God fills heaven and earth.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 37:28
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. I know thy abode - rather, thy sitting down (Psalms 139:2); Hebrew, Shibhteka. Thy going out, and thy coming in.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 37:28
(28) Thy abode . . .—The three words include, in the common speech of the Hebrews, the whole of human life in every form of activity (Psalms 121:8; Psalms 139:2).
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 37:28
21–35. The answer to the prayer comes in the form of a message from Isaiah. The message as here given really consists of two distinct oracles: (1) a poem, on the pride and the approaching humiliation of Sennacherib (Isaiah 37:22-29); to which is appended a short passage in a different rhythm addressed to Hezekiah (Isaiah 37:30-32); (2) a definite prediction, in a less elevated style, of the deliverance of Jerusalem (Isaiah 37:33-35). The lyrical passage (Isaiah 37:22-32) appears to have been inserted in the narrative from some independent source. Although probably a genuine work of Isaiah, the recitation of a somewhat elaborate poem is hardly a natural form for a prophetic communication to take at so critical a juncture. A terse and pregnant oracle, such as we have in Isaiah 37:33-35 suits the situation better, and since these verses contain a complete and direct answer to the prayer of Hezekiah, we need not hesitate to regard them as the actual message of the prophet on this occasion. A slight indication of the original connexion of the narrative may possibly be found in the “therefore” of Isaiah 37:33, referring back to the “whereas” of Isaiah 37:21.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 37:28
But I know - The language of God. ‘I am well acquainted with all that pertains to you. You neither go out to war, nor return, nor abide in your capital without my providential direction’ (see the notes at Isaiah 10:5-7).
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 37:28
28. The expressions, thy abode… going out… coming in, are commonly agreed to mean all the actions of life. Psalms 139:2. These, Jehovah says to the Assyrian general, he has always known.
