Jeremiah 34:8-11

8The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom for the slaves.

9Everyone was to free their Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Hebrew in bondage.

10So all the officials and people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their male and female slaves and no longer hold them in bondage. They agreed, and set them free.

11But afterward they changed their minds and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again.
