“For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.”
Now I will break Assyria's yoke from your neck and burst your bonds asunder—a dramatic promise of liberation employing the imagery of slavery and captivity. God pledges to sever the political and economic chains binding Judah to Assyrian vassalage, restoring independence and dignity to His covenant people. This deliverance prefigures the greater liberation to come through the Messiah.
