Contextual Overview

20Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent word to Hezekiah saying, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Because you have prayed to Me about Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard you.' 21This is the word that Yahweh has spoken against him:‘She has despised you and mocked you,The virgin daughter of Zion;She has shaken her head behind you,The daughter of Jerusalem! 22Whom have you reproached and blasphemed?And against whom have you heightened your voice,And haughtily lifted up your eyes?Against the Holy One of Israel! 23Through your messengers you have reproached the Lord,And you have said, "With my many chariotsI came up to the heights of the mountains,To the remotest parts of Lebanon;And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses.And I entered its farthest lodging place, its thickest forest. 24I dug wells and drank foreign waters,And with the sole of my feet I dried upAll the rivers of Egypt." 25‘Have you not heard?Long ago I did it;From days of old I formed it.Now I have brought it to pass,That you should devastate fortified cities into ruinous heaps. 26So their inhabitants were short of power,They were dismayed and put to shame;They were as the plant of the field and as the green herb,As grass on the rooftops is scorched before it rises. 27But I know your sitting down,And your going out and your coming in,And your raging against Me. 28Because of your raging against Me,And because your presumptuousness has come up to My ears,Therefore I will put My hook in your nose,And My bridle in your lips,And I will turn you back by the way which you came. 29‘Then this shall be the sign for you: you will eat this year what grows of its own accord, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For mine own sake - God’s honor was concerned to defend His own city against one who denied His power in direct terms, as did Sennacherib 2 Kings 18:35; 2 Kings 19:10-12. His faithfulness was also concerned to keep the promise made to David Psalms 132:12-18.
