Jeremiah 34:8-22

34:8
[This is] the word
<01697>
that came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
after
<0310>
that the king
<04428>
Zedekiah
<06667>
had made
<03772> (8800)
a covenant
<01285>
with all the people
<05971>
which [were] at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to proclaim
<07121> (8800)
liberty
<01865>
unto them;
34:9
That every man
<0376>
should let his manservant
<05650>_,
and every man
<0376>
his maidservant
<08198>_,
[being] an Hebrew
<05680>
or an Hebrewess
<05680>_,
go
<07971> (8763)
free
<02670>_;
that none should serve
<05647> (8800)
himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew
<03064>
his brother
<0251>_.
34:10
Now when all the princes
<08269>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
which had entered
<0935> (8804)
into the covenant
<01285>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
that every one
<0376>
should let his manservant
<05650>_,
and every one
<0376>
his maidservant
<08198>_,
go
<07971> (8763)
free
<02670>_,
that none should serve
<05647> (8800)
themselves of them any more, then they obeyed
<08085> (8799)_,
and let [them] go
<07971> (8762)_.
34:11
But afterward
<0310>
they turned
<07725> (8799)_,
and caused the servants
<05650>
and the handmaids
<08198>_,
whom they had let go
<07971> (8765)
free
<02670>_,
to return
<07725> (8686)_,
and brought them into subjection
<03533> (8799) (8675) <03533> (8686)
for servants
<05650>
and for handmaids
<08198>_.
34:12
Therefore the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
34:13
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
I made
<03772> (8804)
a covenant
<01285>
with your fathers
<01>
in the day
<03117>
that I brought them forth
<03318> (8687)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
out of the house
<01004>
of bondmen
<05650>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
34:14
At the end
<07093>
of seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
let ye go
<07971> (8762)
every man
<0376>
his brother
<0251>
an Hebrew
<05680>_,
which hath been sold
<04376> (8735)
unto thee; and when he hath served
<05647> (8804)
thee six
<08337>
years
<08141>_,
thou shalt let him go
<07971> (8765)
free
<02670>
from thee: but your fathers
<01>
hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto me, neither inclined
<05186> (8689)
their ear
<0241>_.
{hath been...: or, hath sold himself}
34:15
And ye were now
<03117>
turned
<07725> (8799)_,
and had done
<06213> (8799)
right
<03477>
in my sight
<05869>_,
in proclaiming
<07121> (8800)
liberty
<01865>
every man
<0376>
to his neighbour
<07453>_;
and ye had made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
before
<06440>
me in the house
<01004>
which is called
<07121> (8738)
by my name
<08034>_:
{now: Heb. to day} {which...: Heb. whereupon my name is called}
34:16
But ye turned
<07725> (8799)
and polluted
<02490> (8762)
my name
<08034>_,
and caused every man
<0376>
his servant
<05650>_,
and every man
<0376>
his handmaid
<08198>_,
whom ye had set
<07971> (8765)
at liberty
<02670>
at their pleasure
<05315>_,
to return
<07725> (8686)_,
and brought them into subjection
<03533> (8799)_,
to be unto you for servants
<05650>
and for handmaids
<08198>_.
34:17
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Ye have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto me, in proclaiming
<07121> (8800)
liberty
<01865>_,
every one
<0376>
to his brother
<0251>_,
and every man
<0376>
to his neighbour
<07453>_:
behold, I proclaim
<07121> (8802)
a liberty
<01865>
for you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
to the sword
<02719>_,
to the pestilence
<01698>_,
and to the famine
<07458>_;
and I will make
<05414> (8804)
you to be removed
<02189> (8675) <02113>
into all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{to be...: Heb. for a removing}
34:18
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
the men
<0582>
that have transgressed
<05674> (8802)
my covenant
<01285>_,
which have not performed
<06965> (8689)
the words
<01697>
of the covenant
<01285>
which they had made
<03772> (8804)
before
<06440>
me, when they cut
<03772> (8804)
the calf
<05695>
in twain
<08147>_,
and passed
<05674> (8799)
between the parts
<01335>
thereof,
34:19
The princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the princes
<08269>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
the eunuchs
<05631>_,
and the priests
<03548>_,
and all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
which passed
<05674> (8802)
between the parts
<01335>
of the calf
<05695>_;
34:20
I will even give
<05414> (8804)
them into the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of them that seek
<01245> (8764)
their life
<05315>_:
and their dead bodies
<05038>
shall be for meat
<03978>
unto the fowls
<05775>
of the heaven
<08064>_,
and to the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>_.
34:21
And Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and his princes
<08269>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
into the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of them that seek
<01245> (8764)
their life
<05315>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
army
<02428>_,
which are gone up
<05927> (8802)
from you.
34:22
Behold, I will command
<06680> (8764)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and cause them to return
<07725> (8689)
to this city
<05892>_;
and they shall fight
<03898> (8738)
against it, and take
<03920> (8804)
it, and burn
<08313> (8804)
it with fire
<0784>_:
and I will make
<05414> (8799)
the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
a desolation
<08077>
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
