Jeremiah 34:12-16
Christian Standard Bible
12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 13 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant(A) with your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, saying, 14 ‘At the end of seven years, each of you must let his fellow Hebrew who sold himself[a] to you go. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free from your service.’(B) But your ancestors did not obey me or pay any attention. 15 Today you repented and did what pleased me, each of you proclaiming freedom for his neighbor. You made a covenant before me(C) at the house that bears my name.(D) 16 But you have changed your minds(E) and profaned my name.(F) Each has taken back his male and female slaves who had been set free to go wherever they wanted, and you have again forced them to be your slaves.
