Jeremiah 34:15-17
Good News Translation
15 Just a few days ago you changed your minds and did what pleased me. All of you agreed to set all Israelites free, and you made a covenant in my presence, in the Temple where I am worshiped. 16 But then you changed your minds again and dishonored me. All of you took back the slaves whom you had set free as they desired, and you forced them into slavery again. 17 So now, I, the Lord, say that you have disobeyed me; you have not given all Israelites their freedom. Very well, then, I will give you freedom: the freedom to die by war, disease, and starvation. I will make every nation in the world horrified at what I do to you.

Jeremiah 34:15-17
New International Version
15 Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to your own people.(A) You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name.(B) 16 But now you have turned around(C) and profaned(D) my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again.
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom to your own people. So I now proclaim ‘freedom’ for you,(E) declares the Lord—‘freedom’ to fall by the sword, plague(F) and famine.(G) I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth.(H)
