Jeremiah 34:8-16

8This is the wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, afterH310 kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with all the peopleH5971 who were at JerusalemH3389, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to them; 9That every manH376 should releaseH7971H2670 his male servantH5650, and every manH376 his female servantH8198, being a Hebrew manH5680 or womanH5680; that none should retainH5647 them in service, that is, a JewH3064 his brotherH251. 10Now when all the princesH8269, and all the peopleH5971, who had enteredH935 into the covenantH1285, heardH8085 that every oneH376 should releaseH7971H2670 his male servantsH5650, and every oneH376 his female servantsH8198, that none should retainH5647 them in service any more, then they obeyedH8085, and let them goH7971. 11But afterwardsH310 they turnedH7725, and caused the maleH5650 and female servantsH8198, whom they had releasedH7971H2670 to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533 for maleH5650 and female servantsH8198. 12Therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559, 13Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, sayingH559, 14At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 release yeH7971 every manH376 his brotherH251 an HebrewH5680, who hath been soldH4376 to thee; and when he hath servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkenedH8085 not to me, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241.1 15And ye had nowH3117 turnedH7725, and had doneH6213 rightH3477 in my sightH5869, in proclaimingH7121 libertyH1865 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453; and ye had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 me in the houseH1004 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034:23 16But ye turnedH7725 and profanedH2490 my nameH8034, and caused every manH376 his male servantH5650, and every manH376 his female servantH8198, whom he had setH7971 at libertyH2670 at their pleasureH5315, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533, to be to you for maleH5650 and female servantsH8198.
