  • Jer 34:8-9 : 8 This is the word{H1697} that came unto Jeremiah{H3414} from the LORD{H3068}, after{H310} that the king{H4428} Zedekiah{H6667} had made{H3772}{(H8800)} a covenant{H1285} with all the people{H5971} which were at Jerusalem{H3389}, to proclaim{H7121}{(H8800)} liberty{H1865} unto them; 9 That every man{H376} should let his manservant{H5650}, and every man{H376} his maidservant{H8198}, being an Hebrew{H5680} or an Hebrewess{H5680}, go{H7971}{(H8763)} free{H2670}; that none should serve{H5647}{(H8800)} himself of them, to wit, of a Jew{H3064} his brother{H251}. 10 Now when all the princes{H8269}, and all the people{H5971}, which had entered{H935}{(H8804)} into the covenant{H1285}, heard{H8085}{(H8799)} that every one{H376} should let his manservant{H5650}, and every one{H376} his maidservant{H8198}, go{H7971}{(H8763)} free{H2670}, that none should serve{H5647}{(H8800)} themselves of them any more, then they obeyed{H8085}{(H8799)}, and let them go{H7971}{(H8762)}. 11 But afterward{H310} they turned{H7725}{(H8799)}, and caused the servants{H5650} and the handmaids{H8198}, whom they had let go{H7971}{(H8765)} free{H2670}, to return{H7725}{(H8686)}, and brought them into subjection{H3533}{(H8799)}{(H8675)}{H3533}{(H8686)} for servants{H5650} and for handmaids{H8198}. 12 Therefore the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came to Jeremiah{H3414} from the LORD{H3068}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 13 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}; I made{H3772}{(H8804)} a covenant{H1285} with your fathers{H1} in the day{H3117} that I brought them forth{H3318}{(H8687)} out of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, out of the house{H1004} of bondmen{H5650}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 14 At the end{H7093} of seven{H7651} years{H8141} let ye go{H7971}{(H8762)} every man{H376} his brother{H251} an Hebrew{H5680}, which hath been sold{H4376}{(H8735)} unto thee; and when he hath served{H5647}{(H8804)} thee six{H8337} years{H8141}, thou shalt let him go{H7971}{(H8765)} free{H2670} from thee: but your fathers{H1} hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} not unto me, neither inclined{H5186}{(H8689)} their ear{H241}. 15 And ye were now{H3117} turned{H7725}{(H8799)}, and had done{H6213}{(H8799)} right{H3477} in my sight{H5869}, in proclaiming{H7121}{(H8800)} liberty{H1865} every man{H376} to his neighbour{H7453}; and ye had made{H3772}{(H8799)} a covenant{H1285} before{H6440} me in the house{H1004} which is called{H7121}{(H8738)} by my name{H8034}: 16 But ye turned{H7725}{(H8799)} and polluted{H2490}{(H8762)} my name{H8034}, and caused every man{H376} his servant{H5650}, and every man{H376} his handmaid{H8198}, whom ye had set{H7971}{(H8765)} at liberty{H2670} at their pleasure{H5315}, to return{H7725}{(H8686)}, and brought them into subjection{H3533}{(H8799)}, to be unto you for servants{H5650} and for handmaids{H8198}. 17 Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Ye have not hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} unto me, in proclaiming{H7121}{(H8800)} liberty{H1865}, every one{H376} to his brother{H251}, and every man{H376} to his neighbour{H7453}: behold, I proclaim{H7121}{(H8802)} a liberty{H1865} for you, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, to the sword{H2719}, to the pestilence{H1698}, and to the famine{H7458}; and I will make{H5414}{(H8804)} you to be removed{H2189}{(H8675)}{H2113} into all the kingdoms{H4467} of the earth{H776}.
