    12Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

    13This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying:

    14At the end of seven years, each of you must set free your Hebrew brothers who have been sold to you and have served you for six years. You must release them to go free. But your ancestors did not obey me or pay attention to me.

    15Recently, you repented and did what is right in my sight by proclaiming freedom, each man for his neighbor. You made a covenant before me in the house where my name is called upon.

    16But then you turned back and profaned my name. You took back the servants and maidservants whom you had set free, allowing them to go wherever they desired, and you brought them back into subjection to become your slaves again.

    17Therefore, this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed me by proclaiming freedom, each one to his brother and to his neighbor. So now, I proclaim freedom for you, declares the Lord—freedom to the sword, to plague, and to famine. I will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

    18The men who violated my covenant and did not keep the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and walked between its pieces.
