The Pulpit Commentary on Nahum 1:13

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

His yoke. The yoke of Assyria, probably referring to the vassalage of Judah (2 Kings 18:14; 2 Chronicles 33:11). (For the metaphor of "yoke" denoting subjugation, setup. Le 26:13; Jeremiah 27:2; Ezekiel 34:27.

) Jeremiah (Jeremiah 30:8) seems to use these words of Nahum to announce the deliverance of Israel from captivity. Burst thy bonds in sunder; by the final overthrow of the Assyrian power (Psalms 2:3; Jeremiah 2:20).
