What did the king of Assyria say was the reason for his success?

He said, "By my strength and by my wisdom I acted. I have understanding, and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples. I have stolen their treasures, and like a mighty man I have brought down those who sit on thrones. My hand has seized, like from a nest, the wealth of nations, and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. None fluttered their wings or opened their mouth or chirped." [10:13; 10:14]
