The Prophet confirms here what he has said of the fall of Nineveh; …he introduces God as the speaker, that his address might be more powerful. God then testifies here to the Assyrians, that they should have no strife or contention with any mortal being, but with their own judgment; as though he said, 'There is no reason for thee to compare thy forces with those of the Chaldeans; but think of this — that I am the punisher of thy crimes. The Chaldeans indeed shall come; chariots shall make a noise and horses shall leap, and horsemen shall shake the earth; they shall brandish the flaming swords, and their spears shall be like lightning; but there is no reason for thee to think that the Chaldeans will, of themselves, break in upon thee: for I guide them by my hidden providence, as it is my purpose to destroy thee; and now the time is come when I shall execute on thee my judgment.…' …The Prophet's meaning [is] "Nineveh thinks not that she is to perish. — How so? Because her own splendor blinds her: and she has willfully deceived herself, and…has dazzled the eyes of all nations. As then this splendor seems to be a defense to the city Nineveh, I the Lord, he says…will deprive the Assyrians of all this splendor in which they now glory, and which is in high esteem and admiration among other nations." – John Calvin
