Thus said the Lord: Make for yourself bonds and yokes, and put [them] about your neck,

[with] Jeconiah, and the captivity of Judah; For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

Then Hananiah took the yokes from the neck of Jeremiah in the sight of all the people, and broke them to pieces.

Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, Thus says the Lord: You have broken the yokes of wood, but I will make yokes of iron in their place.

Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck; for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Midian.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his yoke shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his fear from you, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.

[even] to destroy the Assyrians upon My land, and upon My mountains; and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders.

And the trees that are in the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength, and they shall dwell in the confidence of peace on their land, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken their yoke; and I will deliver them out of the hand of those that enslaved them.

And now will I break off his rod from you, and will burst your bonds.
