Jeremiah 34:8-11

Jeremiah 34:8-11

[8] This is the word  that came unto Jeremiah  after  that the king  Zedekiah  had made  a covenant  with all the people  which were at Jerusalem,  to proclaim  liberty  [9] That every man  should let his manservant,  and every man  his maidservant,  being an Hebrew  go  free;  that none should serve  himself of them, to wit, of a Jew  his brother.  [10] Now when all the princes,  and all the people,  which had entered  into the covenant,  heard  that every one  should let his manservant,  and every one  his maidservant,  go  free,  that none should serve  themselves of them any more, then they obeyed,  and let them go.  [11] But afterward  they turned,  and caused the servants  and the handmaids,  whom they had let go  free,  to return,  and brought them into subjection  for servants  and for handmaids.
