“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”
And in that day his burden will be taken from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the anointing—the promise of liberation from Assyrian oppression, with the breaking of the yoke accomplished through the anointing (possibly referencing the anointed king of the Davidic line). The removal of the oppressor's burden represents not merely military deliverance but spiritual liberation, the restoration of the freedom that is God's intention for His people. This verse establishes that deliverance encompasses both material and spiritual dimensions.
