Jeremiah 34:8-11

8The Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah after King Zedekiah and all the people in Jerusalem promised to free their slaves.

9Everyone was supposed to free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female. No one was supposed to keep another Jew as a slave.

10All the officials and all the people agreed and promised to free their male and female slaves and not to keep them as slaves anymore. So they set them free.

11But afterwards, they changed their minds and took back the men and women they had freed and made them their slaves again.
