Legacy Standard Bible
8 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after King Zedekiah had (A)cut a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem to (B)proclaim [a]release to them: 9 that each man should let his male slave go free and each man his female slave, a (C)Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, so that (D)no one should enslave them, each being a Jew, his brother. 10 And all the (E)officials and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant that each man should let his male slave go free and each man his female slave, so that no one should enslave them any longer; they obeyed and let them go free. 11 But afterwards they turned around and returned to themselves the male slaves and the female slaves, whom they had let go as free, and subdued them to be male slaves and female slaves.

A Broken Agreement with Hebrew Servants
8 This is[a] this message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah from the Lord after Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem proclaiming release for them. 9 Each person was to set free his male and female slaves who were Hebrews, so that no Jewish person would enslave his brother.[b] 10 All the officials and all the people who had entered into the covenant agreed[c] that each would set his male and female slaves free so that they[d] would not enslave them any longer. They obeyed and they released them. 11 But afterward they turned around and took back the male and female slaves that they had set free, and they forced them to become male and female slaves.
