Psalms 128:4 The Lord, who is just, will cut the necks of sinners:

Necks. Hebrew, "collars," (Theodotion) "snares," (Symmachus) or "bands," with which they have oppressed us. Cyrus abandoned the Babylonians to be slaves of those Persians who had taken them, and made them till the land, etc. (Zenoph. vii.) (Calmet)
