Contextual Overview
20 Isaiah went to Hezekiah and told him that the Lord God of Israel had said: Hezekiah, I heard your prayer about King Sennacherib of Assyria. 21 Now this is what I say to that king: The people of Jerusalem hate and make fun of you; they laugh behind your back. 22 Sennacherib, you cursed, shouted, and sneered at me, the holy God of Israel. 23 You let your officials insult me, the Lord. And here is what you have said about yourself, "I led my chariots to the highest heights of Lebanon's mountains. I went deep into its forest, cutting down the best cedar and cypress trees. 24 I dried up every stream in the land of Egypt, and I drank water from wells I had dug." 25 Sennacherib, now listen to me, the Lord. I planned all this long ago. And you don't even realize that I alone am the one who decided that you would do these things. I let you make ruins of fortified cities. 26 Their people became weak, terribly confused. They were like wild flowers or tender young grass growing on a flat roof, scorched before it matures. 27 I know all about you, even how fiercely angry you are with me. 28 I have seen your pride and the tremendous hatred you have for me. Now I will put a hook in your nose, a bit in your mouth, then I will send you back to where you came from. 29 Hezekiah, I will tell you what's going to happen. This year you will eat crops that grow on their own, and the next year you will eat whatever springs up where those crops grew. But the third year you will plant grain and vineyards, and you will eat what you harvest.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
:-
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thy tumult - Rather, “thy arrogance.”
I will put my hook in nose - Rather, “my ring.” The sculptures show that the kings of Babylon and Assyria were in the habit of actually passing a ring through the flesh of their more distinguished prisoners, of attaching a thong or a rope to it, and of thus leading them about as with a “bridle.” In Assyria the ring was, at least ordinarily, passed through the lower lip; while in Babylonia it appears to have been inserted into the membrane of the nose. Thus Sennacherib would be here threatened with a punishment which he was perhaps in the habit of inflicting.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 28. I will put my hook in thy nose — This seems to be an allusion to the method of guiding a buffalo; he has a sort of ring put into his nose, to which a cord or bridle is attached, by which he can be turned to the right, or to the left, or round about, according to the pleasure of his driver.
