"Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
— Jeremiah 34:12, NASB
“Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,”
“Therefore the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, ”
“Therefore the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,”
“The LORD’s message came to Jeremiah,”
“And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:”
“For this reason the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,”
“Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,”
that each man should set free his male servant and each man his female servant, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman; so that no one should keep them, a Jew his brother, in bondage.
And all the officials and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant that each man should set free his male servant and each man his female servant, so that no one should keep them any longer in bondage; they obeyed, and set them free.
But afterward they turned around and took back the male servants and the female servants whom they had set free, and brought them into subjection for male servants and for female servants.
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
"Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'I made a covenant with your forefathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, saying,
"At the end of seven years each of you shall set free his Hebrew brother who has been sold to you and has served you six years, you shall send him out free from you; but your forefathers did not obey Me or incline their ear to Me.
"Although recently you had turned and done what is right in My sight, each man proclaiming release to his neighbor, and you had made a covenant before Me in the house which is called by My name.
