This continues Yahweh's message to the king of Assyria.
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me
“I know everything you do and your words of anger against me”
I will put my hook in your nose, and my bit in your mouth
A person uses a hook and bit to lead an animal around. This emphasizes that God completely controls what the king of Assyria will do. (See:rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
