Advertencia a Sedequías
34 El rey Nabucodonosor[a] de Babilonia llegó con todos los ejércitos de los reinos que él gobernaba y peleó contra Jerusalén y las ciudades de Judá. En ese momento Jeremías recibió el siguiente mensaje del Señor: 2 «Ve ante Sedequías, rey de Judá, y dile: “Esto dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: ‘Estoy por entregar esta ciudad en manos del rey de Babilonia y él la incendiará. 3 No escaparás de sus garras, sino que te tomarán cautivo, te llevarán ante el rey de Babilonia y lo verás cara a cara. Después serás exiliado a Babilonia’.
4 »”Pero escucha esta promesa del Señor, oh Sedequías, rey de Judá. Esto dice el Señor: ‘No te matarán en la guerra 5 sino que morirás en paz. La gente quemará incienso en tu memoria de la misma manera que lo hizo con tus antepasados, los reyes que te precedieron. Se lamentarán por ti llorando: “¡Ay, nuestro amo ha muerto!”. Esto es lo que he decretado, dice el Señor’”».
6 Así que el profeta Jeremías transmitió este mensaje al rey Sedequías de Judá. 7 En ese tiempo, el ejército babilónico sitiaba Jerusalén, Laquis y Azeca, las únicas ciudades fortificadas de Judá que todavía no habían sido conquistadas.
Liberación para los esclavos hebreos
8 Jeremías recibió este mensaje del Señor luego que el rey Sedequías hizo un pacto con el pueblo que proclamó la libertad de los esclavos. 9 El rey había ordenado que todo el pueblo dejara en libertad a sus esclavos hebreos, tanto hombres como mujeres. Nadie debía mantener a un hermano judío en esclavitud. 10 Las autoridades y todo el pueblo habían obedecido el mandato del rey, 11 pero luego cambiaron de opinión. Volvieron a tomar a los hombres y a las mujeres que habían liberado y los obligaron a ser esclavos otra vez.
12 Así que el Señor les dio el siguiente mensaje por medio de Jeremías: 13 «Esto dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: “Hace tiempo hice un pacto con sus antepasados cuando los rescaté de la esclavitud de Egipto. 14 Les dije que todo esclavo hebreo debía ser liberado después de haber servido seis años; pero sus antepasados no me hicieron caso. 15 Hace poco ustedes se arrepintieron e hicieron lo que es correcto obedeciendo mi palabra. Liberaron a sus esclavos e hicieron un pacto solemne conmigo en el templo que lleva mi nombre. 16 Sin embargo, ahora ustedes abandonaron su juramento y profanaron mi nombre al volver a tomar a los hombres y a las mujeres que habían liberado y los obligaron a ser esclavos otra vez.
17 »”Por lo tanto, esto dice el Señor: ya que ustedes me han desobedecido al no poner en libertad a sus compatriotas, yo los pondré a ustedes en libertad para ser destruidos por guerra, enfermedad y hambre. Serán objeto de horror para todas las naciones de la tierra. 18 Puesto que rompieron las condiciones de nuestro pacto, los partiré en dos tal como ustedes partieron el becerro cuando caminaron entre las mitades para solemnizar sus votos. 19 Así es, yo los partiré, sean autoridades de Judá o de Jerusalén, funcionarios de la corte, sacerdotes o gente común, porque rompieron su juramento. 20 Los entregaré en manos de sus enemigos y ellos los matarán. Sus cuerpos serán alimento para los buitres y para los animales salvajes.
21 »”Yo entregaré a Sedequías, rey de Judá, y a sus funcionarios en manos del ejército del rey de Babilonia. A pesar de que se han ido de Jerusalén por un tiempo, 22 llamaré a los ejércitos babilónicos para que regresen. Pelearán contra esta ciudad, la conquistarán y la incendiarán. Me aseguraré de que todas las ciudades de Judá sean destruidas y que nadie viva allí”».

Warning to Zedekiah
34 While Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the kingdoms and peoples(A) in the empire he ruled were fighting against Jerusalem(B) and all its surrounding towns, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Go to Zedekiah(C) king of Judah and tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.(D) 3 You will not escape from his grasp but will surely be captured and given into his hands.(E) You will see the king of Babylon with your own eyes, and he will speak with you face to face. And you will go to Babylon.
4 “‘Yet hear the Lord’s promise to you, Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the Lord says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;(F) 5 you will die peacefully. As people made a funeral fire(G) in honor of your predecessors, the kings who ruled before you, so they will make a fire in your honor and lament, “Alas,(H) master!” I myself make this promise, declares the Lord.’”
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet told all this to Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem, 7 while the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah that were still holding out—Lachish(I) and Azekah.(J) These were the only fortified cities left in Judah.
Freedom for Slaves
8 The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people(K) in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom(L) for the slaves. 9 Everyone was to free their Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Hebrew in bondage.(M) 10 So 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. 11 But afterward they changed their minds(N) and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again.
12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your ancestors(O) when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.(P) I said, 14 ‘Every seventh year each of you must free any fellow Hebrews who have sold themselves to you. After they have served you six years, you must let them go free.’[a](Q) Your ancestors, however, did not listen to me or pay attention(R) to me. 15 Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to your own people.(S) You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name.(T) 16 But now you have turned around(U) and profaned(V) my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again.
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom to your own people. So I now proclaim ‘freedom’ for you,(W) declares the Lord—‘freedom’ to fall by the sword, plague(X) and famine.(Y) I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth.(Z) 18 Those who have violated my covenant(AA) and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces.(AB) 19 The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials,(AC) the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf, 20 I will deliver(AD) into the hands of their enemies who want to kill them.(AE) Their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.(AF)
21 “I will deliver Zedekiah(AG) king of Judah and his officials(AH) into the hands of their enemies(AI) who want to kill them, to the army of the king of Babylon,(AJ) which has withdrawn(AK) from you. 22 I am going to give the order, declares the Lord, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, take(AL) it and burn(AM) it down. And I will lay waste(AN) the towns of Judah so no one can live there.”

34 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
5 But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the Lord.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8 This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
11 But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
12 Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
14 At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
15 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
22 Behold, I will command, saith the Lord, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
