Contextual Overview
1 These are the words that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah. 2 The Lord , the God of Israel, said: "Jeremiah, write in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 3 The days will come when I will bring Israel and Judah back from captivity," says the Lord . "I will return them to the land I gave their ancestors, and they will own it!" says the Lord . 4 The Lord spoke this message about the people of Israel and Judah: 5 This is what the Lord said: "We hear people crying from fear. They are afraid; there is no peace. 6 Ask this question, and consider it: A man cannot have a baby. So why do I see every strong man holding his stomach in pain like a woman having a baby? Why is everyone's face turning white like a dead man's face? 7 This will be a terrible day! There will never be another time like this. This is a time of great trouble for the people of Jacob, but they will be saved from it." 8 The Lord All-Powerful says, "At that time I will break the yoke from their necks and tear off the ropes that hold them. Foreign people will never again make my people slaves. 9 They will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will send to them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts,.... When the time is come for Jacob to be saved out of his trouble:
[that] I will break his yoke from off thy neck; not the yoke of the king of Babylon, but of antichrist, and of all the antichristian states, by whom the people of God have been oppressed; so the Targum,
"I will break the yoke of the peoples (the antichristian nations) from off your necks.''
Jarchi interprets it of the yoke of the nations of the world from off Israel; and Kimchi of the yoke of Gog and Magog, or of every nation:
and will burst thy bonds; by which they were kept in bondage, both with respect to civil and religious things; but now he that led into captivity shall go into captivity himself, Revelation 13:10;
and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him; this shows that this prophecy cannot be understood of deliverance from the Babylonish captivity; because, after this, strangers did serve themselves of the Jews, and they were servants unto them; as to the Persians, and Grecians, and especially the Romans, by whom they were entirely subdued and ruined; and to this day all nations almost serve themselves of them; but when they shall be called and converted, as they shall be free from the yoke of sin and Satan, and from the yoke of the ceremonial law, and the traditions of their elders, in a religious sense; so from the yoke of the nations of the world, in a civil sense.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Bonds - See Jeremiah 27:2 note.
Shall no more serve themselves - i. e., shall no more exact forced labor of him Jeremiah 22:13.
