Now I will break the yoke of bondage from your neck

and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression.”

I will snap your bonds.”

KJV 1900King James Version

Thus saith the Lord;

Though they be quiet, and likewise many,

Yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through.

Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

For now will I break his yoke from off thee,

And will burst thy bonds in sunder.
