Because you have raged against me and your complacency has come into my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.
We have here the gracious copious answer which God gave to Hezekiah's prayer.

Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. (s) I will bridle your rage, and turn you to and fro as it pleases me.
