At the place where they lodged for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver there at the top of his bag.

As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his bag of silver! When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to live in freedom.[fn]

“and any open container without a lid tied on it is unclean.

“Her husband may confirm or cancel any vow or any sworn obligation to deny herself.

“No,” they said,[fn] “we won’t kill you, but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.” So they tied him up with two new ropes and led him away from the rock.

He told her, “If they tie me up with new ropes that have never been used, I will become weak and be like any other man.”

“Someone is pursuing you and intends to take your life. My lord’s life is tucked safely in the place[fn] where the LORD your God protects the living, but he is flinging away your enemies’ lives like stones from a sling.

So he brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria. They captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.

Can you fasten the chains of the Pleiades

or loosen the belt of Orion?

Who set the wild donkey free?

Who released the swift donkey from its harness?

“Let’s tear off their chains

and throw their ropes off of us.”

He brought them out of darkness and gloom

and broke their chains apart.

LORD, I am indeed your servant;

I am your servant, the son of your female servant.

You have loosened my bonds.

He follows her impulsively

like an ox going to the slaughter,

like a deer bounding toward a trap[fn]

And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a trap: her heart a net and her hands chains. The one who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

So now, do not scoff,

or your shackles will become stronger.

Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Armies

a decree of destruction for the whole land.

“in order to open blind eyes,

to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,

and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.

saying to the prisoners, “Come out,”

and to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves.”

They will feed along the pathways,

and their pastures will be on all the barren heights.

“Stand up, shake the dust off yourself!

Take your seat, Jerusalem.

Remove the bonds[fn] from your neck,

captive Daughter Zion.”

For long ago I[fn] broke your yoke;

I[fn] tore off your chains.

You insisted, “I will not serve! ”

On every high hill

and under every green tree

you lay down like a prostitute.

I will go to the powerful

and speak to them.

Surely they know the way of the LORD,

the justice of their God.

However, these also had broken the yoke

and torn off the chains.

This is what the LORD said to me: “Make chains and yoke bars for yourself and put them on your neck.

On that day —

this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies —

I will break his yoke from your neck

and tear off your chains,

and strangers will never again enslave him.

“As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and bind you with them so you cannot go out among them.

“Be aware that I will put cords on you so you cannot turn from side to side until you have finished the days of your siege.

“But leave the stump with its roots in the ground

and with a band of iron and bronze around it

in the tender grass of the field.

Let him be drenched with dew from the sky

and share the plants of the earth

with the animals.

“The king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump with its roots in the ground and with a band of iron and bronze around it in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with dew from the sky and share food with the wild animals for seven periods of time.’

I led them with human cords,

with ropes of love.

To them I was like one

who eases the yoke from their jaws;

I bent down to give them food.

For I will now break off his yoke from you

and tear off your shackles.

You come out to save your people,

to save your anointed.[fn]

You crush the leader of the house of the wicked

and strip him from foot[fn] to neck.Selah

“You have planted much

but harvested little.

You eat

but never have enough to be satisfied.

You drink

but never have enough to be happy.

You put on clothes

but never have enough to get warm.

The wage earner puts his wages

into a bag with a hole in it.”

“But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall.[fn]
