Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Let us break their bands asunder. Wicked men always feel God's rule and his Law to be restraints. They chafe at them, fret against them, and, in the last resort - so far as their will goes - wholly throw them off. And cast away their cords from us. "Bands" and "cords" are the fetters that restrain prisoners. The rebels determine to burst them, and assert their absolute freedom.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Let us break.--The whispered purpose now breaks out into loud menace, and we hear their defiance pass along the ranks of the rebels.Cords.--The LXX. and Vulg. have "yoke," which is in keeping with the metaphor of a restive animal. (Comp. Isaiah 58:6; Isaiah 10:27.)
