Jeremiah 28:10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it. Jeremiah 28:13 "Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: 'You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.'

By the type of bonds and yokes he prophesies the subduing of the neighbor kings8. He exhorts them to yield, and not to believe the false prophets. 12. The like he does to Zedekiah. 19. He foretells the remnant of the vessels shall be carried to Babylon, (2) Make thee bonds and yokes.--This method of vivid symbolic prediction had a precedent in the conduct of Isaiah when he walked "naked and barefoot" (Isaiah 20:2). We have to realise the infinitely more vivid impression which the appearance of the prophet in this strange guise, as though he were at once a captive slave and a beast of burden, would make on the minds of men, as compared with simply warning them of a coming subjugation. The principle on which the prophet acted was that of Horace (Ep. ad Pis. 180):-- "Segnius irritant animos demissa per aures, Quam quae sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus, et quae Ipse sibi tradit spectator." "Things that we hear less stir the inmost soul, Than what the eye sees dramatised in act." So Agabus bound himself with Paul's girdle (Acts 21:11). So Ezekiel dug through the wall of his house and carried out his stuff (Ezekiel 12:5-7). We find from Jeremiah 28:10 that the prophet obeyed the command quite literally. . . . Verse 2. - Make thee bends and yokes; rather, bands and poles; i.e. the bands which secured the two pieces of wood placed respectively above and beneath the neck of the ox, so forming a yoke. Hence, in Leviticus 26:13, we find the phrase, "the poles [Authorized Version wrongly, 'the bands'] of your yoke." It is clear from Jeremiah 28:10 that this account is to be taken literally.Parallel Commentaries ...
