'Yoke' in the Bible
See her seated by herself, the town which was full of people! She who was great among the nations has become like a widow! She who was a princess among the countries has come under the yoke of forced work!
The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Let him sit alone [in hope] and keep quiet,Because God has laid it on him [for his benefit].
Our pursuers are at our necks;We are worn out, there is no rest for us.
