Jeremiah 34:9-11

The Voice

⁹ The king commanded all those who held Hebrew slaves to release them—both men and women—so that no Jew would hold a fellow Jew in slavery. ¹⁰ So all the leaders and people of the city entered this covenant and agreed with the king to free all of their Hebrew slaves.

¹¹ Not long after the people had freed their slaves, they changed their minds and forced the men and women they released back into slavery.
