"For its yoke is a yoke of iron: and its bands are bands of brass."
In context
22Many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not so many as have perished by their own tongue.
23Blessed is he that is defended from a wicked tongue, that hath not passed into the wrath thereof, and that hath not drawn the yoke thereof, and hath not been bound in its bands.
24For its yoke is a yoke of iron: and its bands are bands of brass.
25The death thereof is a most evil death: and hell is preferable to it.
26Its continuance shall not be for a long time, but it shall possess the ways of the unjust: and the just shall not be burnt with its flame.
