Jeremiah 34:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight in proclaiming liberty, every man to his neighbor, and ye had made a covenant before me in [a]the house, whereupon my Name is called.
16 But ye repented, and polluted my Name: for ye have caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and hold them in subjection to be unto you as servants and as handmaids.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Ye have not obeyed me, in proclaiming freedom every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to [b]the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine, and I will make you a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

Jeremiah 34:15-17
New International Version
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)
