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]])
