Barnes' Notes
They have known ... - Men of education, who read the Scriptures, and learn from them the nature of God' s judgments.
But these - literally, surely they (compare Jeremiah 5:4).
The yoke - The Mosaic law.
And burst ... - They have torn off, torn themselves loose from.
The bonds - The fastenings by which the yoke was fixed upon the necks of the oxen.
