Jeremiah 34:15-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ Today you repented and did what pleased me, each of you proclaiming freedom for his neighbor. You made a covenant before me^(A) at the house that bears my name.^{(B) 16} But you have changed your minds^(C) and profaned my name.^(D) 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.

¹⁷ “Therefore, this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed me by proclaiming freedom, each for his fellow Hebrew and for his neighbor.^(E) I hereby proclaim freedom for you^(F)—this is the Lord’s declaration—to the sword, to plague, and to famine! I will make you a horror to all the earth’s kingdoms.^(G)
