Exegesis

The relative clause asher ubbad-bakh {אֲשֶׁר עֻבַּד־בָּךְ | ʾăšer ʿubbad-bāḵ} ‘that was worked on you’ uses the Pual to emphasize enforced, passive experience: the labor was not chosen but inflicted. English is best rendered with an initial time clause and repeated “from” phrases to preserve the Hebrew rhythm and the scope of deliverance.

In contextIsaiah 14:3

And it will be in the day the LORD gives you rest from your pain , and from your agitation, and from the harsh labor that was imposed on you.
