Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly! they have forsaken Jehovah, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are estranged and gone backward.

When the LORD now shall bring thee to rest; from the travail, fear, and hard bondage that thou wast laden withal.

But thou hast laden me with thy sins, and wearied me with thine ungodliness.

Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy laden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
