Yokes and Shackles

"Now i will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away."
-nahum 1:13.
nahum means comfort.
in nahum 1:13 god is telling his people that he would break the yoke of nineveh from his peoples' necks. Judah will once again be able to celebrate festivals and they will fulfill their vows to the lord. the wicked will no longer invade, but will be completely destroyed.
we must also claim victory and praise him for the victory we are sure will come.
lord please develop this idea of shackles and yokes. teach me about them.
what is yoke in hebrew and where else is it in the bible? in greek? what else is seen as a shackle? show me.
