In Perek Yud, The Jewish people of Yehudah were sinning. They were corrupted and lacked צדק ומשפט. They were supposed to realize that if that didn't stop, they'd be exiled like the people of Shomron. Yishayahu decided to use the events of the exile of Shomron to teach the people of Yehudah a lesson. They needed to know that G-d meant business and He wasn't going to take their foolishness any longer. God was going to use Assyria as a pawn to attack Yehudah. However, the Assyrians believed that it was only their power that caused them to be so great, not Hashem helping them. For that thought, they would also be punished.

Two lessons can be learned from these Pasukim. The first is that if you're told to fix yourself, you really need to do so, or G-d will exile you. Obviously that doesn't completely apply today, but people should still understand that if they're actually doing something wrong, they need to fix themselves. For example, if you're sitting next to Jamie Levy in class and you start to chew, you better stop as soon as she yells at you because serious consequences will quickly follow. The second lesson is that you need to see the hand of God in your life at all times. The Assyrians took complete credit for the military power, and for that they were also punished.
