Baruch
“A yoke that all men may know his stubbornness is broken and his pride humbled. I will meet him, will lift the yoke from his neck, and replace the crown on his head.”
Zedekiah
Never shall the man wear a crown whose neck has borne a yoke. Never! [He rises to his feet]
Abimelech
I could not endure it! [He also rises]
[The others remain seated and silent. After a long pause, Nahum speaks meditatively]
Nahum
From the gates of the temple to the wall?
