This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Literally, “On our necks we are persecuted”; that is, Men tread on our necks (Psa 66:12; Isa 51:23; compare Jos 10:24). The extremest oppression. The foe not merely galled the Jews face, back, and sides, but their neck. A just retribution, as they had been stiff in neck against the yoke of God (2Ch 30:8, Margin; Neh 9:29; Isa 48:4).
