Bonds, fetters, restraints — physical chains or ropes; metaphorically, any yoke of oppression or covenant obligation
The noun מוֹסֵר (moser) denotes bonds, fetters, or binding restraints. The Psalms celebrate God's power to break bonds: Psalm 2:3 voices the nations' desire to burst God's bonds, while Psalm 107:14 and 116:16 praise deliverance. Isaiah commands Zion to loose bonds from her neck (Isa 52:2) and warns that tightened bonds bring destruction (Isa 28:22). Jeremiah pictures yoke-bonds symbolizing Babylonian vassalage (Jer 27:2; 30:8), and Nahum 1:13 promises God will snap Assyria's bonds. Job 39:5 asks who freed the wild donkey. Spanish 'ataduras' and French 'liens' convey both physical and metaphorical range.
