Jeremiah 34:12-14

The Voice

Eternal One: ¹³ I, the Eternal God of Israel, am reminding you that I made a covenant with your ancestors when I rescued them from slavery in the land of Egypt. I told them: ¹⁴ After six years of service, a fellow Hebrew slave must be freed from slavery in the seventh year.^[a] But your ancestors never took My directive seriously or obeyed Me.
