Make yourself bonds and yokes, and put them upon your neck,
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 27:2 Go To Jeremiah 27

Chains. Hebrew, "a yoke and pole "(Calmet) or piece of wood for the necks of slaves. (St. Jerome)
Thus would the servitude of these nations be clearly represented. (Haydock)
Bands and chains were proper signs, as they were used to bind captives. (Worthington)
