RF JER 34:1 The Doom of Zedekiah.
This commandment came from the EVER-LIVING to Jeremiah to proclaim, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, with all his forces, and all the kingdoms of the earth who were controlled by his hand, and all the nations, fought against Jerusalem and all her towns.
RF JER 34:2 Thus said the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel,—"Go and speak to Zedekiah, king of Judah, and say to him:—' Thus says the EVER-LIVING, I will deliver this city to the hand of the king of Babel, and he will burn it with fire!
RF JER 34:3 You also will not escape from his hand! For you will be seized and given to his power, and your eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babel, and his mouth shall speak to your mouth, and you shall go to Babel.
RF JER 34:4 However listen to the message of the EVER-LIVING, Zedekiah, king of Judah! Thus says the EVER-LIVING to you, You shall not die by the sword.
RF JER 34:5 You shall die in peace;—and as they burnt for the kings, your forefathers, who were before you, so they shall burn for you, with "Alas my Prince!" they will lament for you,—for I have promised this promise,' says the EVER-LIVING."
RF JER 34:6 Jeremiah the Preacher accordingly addressed to Zedekiah, king of Judah, the whole of these words in Jerusalem,
RF JER 34:7 when the forces of the king of Babel were fighting against Jerusalem, and all the other towns of Judah,—with Lakish and Akron,—for these fortified towns were left to Judah.
RF JER 34:8 On the Sham Abolition of Slavery.
The command that came to Jeremiah from the EVER-LIVING, after King Zedekiah had made an agreement for all the people who were in Jerusalem to proclaim them free;
RF JER 34:9 that everyone should liberate his man slave or his woman slave,—who was a Hebrew or a Hebrewess,—freeing from slavery to their brother to Hebrews.
RF JER 34:10 And all the nobles and people obeyed when the decree came out, and each sent their man slave or their female slave into freedom, so as never again to be enslaved;—they obeyed, and freed them.
RF JER 34:11 But afterwards they turned and captured their male and female slaves whom they had released to freedom, and reduced them again to male and female slaves.
RF JER 34:12 Then a command came from the EVER-LIVING to Jeremiah to proclaim:—
RF JER 34:13 "Thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel! I made a Covenant with your ancestors at the time when I brought them from the land of the Mitzeraim, from the House of Slavery, ordering,
RF JER 34:14 'At the end of seven years you must each one release his enslaved brother, whom you have bought. He shall serve you six years;—then you must send him from you into freedom.' But your fathers would not listen to Me, nor incline their ears.
RF JER 34:15 "You, however, repented the other day, and did right in My eyes by proclaiming liberty to each of your relatives, and you enacted a decree, over which My NAME was invoked.
RF JER 34:16 But now you have turned and polluted My NAME, and everyone seizes his male or female slave, whom you had released into freedom, to pollute and degrade them to be your slaves and slavesses.
RF JER 34:17 "Therefore," the EVER-LIVING declares, "as you have not obeyed Me to proclaim everyone liberty to his brother, and each to his neighbour,—I will proclaim-you free," says the EVER-LIVING, "to the sword, to plague, and to famine, and I will deliver you to be scattered in all the kingdoms of the earth!
RF JER 34:18 And I will deliver the men who broke My Agreement,—who did not stand by the terms of the Agreement which they made before Me,—by a heifer cut in two, and they passing between the portions,—
RF JER 34:19 the nobles of Judah, and the nobles of Jerusalem, with cabinet ministers, and the priests, with all the army of the country, between the portions,—
RF JER 34:20 I will give them to the hand of their enemies;—to the hand seeking their life,—and their carcasses shall become food for the birds of the sky, and the beasts of the earth.
RF JER 34:21 I will also give Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his officers to the power of their enemies, to the hand that seeks their life, to the mighty hand of the king of Babel, who has gone away from you.
RF JER 34:22 I have ordered them to return!" says the EVER-LIVING, "to this city, and they will attack it, and capture, and burn it with fire, and I will make the towns of Judah desolate, without inhabitants!"
