12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 13 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘I (A)made a covenant with your forefathers on the day that I (B)brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, saying, 14 “(C)At the end of seven years each of you shall set free his Hebrew brother who [a]has been sold to you and has served you for six years, and you shall send him out free from you.” But your forefathers (D)did not obey Me nor incline their ear to Me. 15 Although recently you had turned and (E)done what is right in My sight, each one proclaiming [b]release to his neighbor, and you had (F)made a covenant before Me (G)in the house which is called by My name. 16 Yet you (H)turned and (I)profaned My name, and each person [c]took back his male servant and each his female servant whom you had set free according to their desire, and you brought them into subjection to be your male and female servants.’

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 13 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I myself made a covenant with your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying,(A) 14 “Every seventh year each of you must set free any Hebrews who have been sold to you and have served you six years; you must set them free from your service.” But your ancestors did not listen to me or incline their ears to me.(B) 15 You yourselves recently repented and did what was right in my sight by proclaiming liberty to one another, and you made a covenant before me in the house that is called by my name,(C) 16 but then you turned around and profaned my name when each of you took back your male and female slaves, whom you had set free according to their desire, and you brought them again into subjection to be your slaves.(D)
