Jeremiah 34:14-16
International Standard Version
14 “At the end of seven years, each of you is to set free your fellow Hebrew who has sold himself to you and has served you for six years. You are to send him out from you with no further obligation.” But your ancestors didn’t obey me or pay attention.[a] 15 You recently repented and did what was right in my eyes by proclaiming release for one another, and you made a covenant before me in the house that is called by my name. 16 But then you turned around and profaned my name when each of you took back his male and female slaves whom you had set free according to their desire, and you forced them to become male and female slaves.”’

New International Version
14 ‘Every seventh year each of you must free any fellow Hebrews who have sold themselves to you. After they have served you six years, you must let them go free.’[a](A) Your ancestors, however, did not listen to me or pay attention(B) to me. 15 Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to your own people.(C) You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name.(D) 16 But now you have turned around(E) and profaned(F) 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.
