Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, etc.] Which he wore as a symbol of the subjection of Judea, and other nations, to the king of Babylon: an impudent and insolent action this was, to take the prophet’s yoke from his neck; and the more so, as it was by the command of God that he made it, and wore it: and brake it; being made of wood, as it afterwards appears, and so might easily be broken.
