Commentary for Isaiah 36:5

I said (until now), “It is but words of the lips, that he speaks (lit., in his mouth), saying, ‘I will not serve the king of Assyria.’ And when he sees that I will march against him with an army, he will recant. Now I have marched. From now on, either he will serve me, or he will need to seek counsel and might for war.”

Now that the time has come, tell me now on whom you have depended to rebel against me.
