2 Chronicles 32:24-25

In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him {r} a sign.

(r) To confirm his faith in God's promise, who declared to him by his prophet that his life would be prolonged fifteen years. But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit [done] unto him; for his heart {s} was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

(s) He was lifted up with the pride of his victory and treasures, and shows them for an ostentation to the ambassadors of Babylon.

Jeremiah 31:18

I have surely heard {u} Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus]; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a {x} bull unaccustomed [to the yoke]: {y} turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou [art] the LORD my God.

(u) That is, the people who were led captive. (x) Which was wanton and could not be subject to the yoke. (y) He shows how the faithful used to pray, that is, desire God to tame them as they cannot turn of themselves.
