24:034:005 But thou shalt die in peace:  and with the burnings of thy
           fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall
           they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying,
           Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the lord.

24:034:006 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah
           king of Judah in Jerusalem,

24:034:007 When the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and
           against all the cities of Judah that were left, against
           Lachish, and against Azekah:  for these defenced cities
           remained of the cities of Judah.

24:034:008 This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the lord, after
           that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people
           which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;

24:034:009 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his
           maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that
           none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his
           brother.

24:034:010 Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had
           entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his
           manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none
           should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed,
           and let them go.

24:034:011 But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the
           handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought
           them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

24:034:012 Therefore the word of the lord came to Jeremiah from the lord,
           saying,

24:034:013 Thus saith the lord, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with
           your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the
           land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,

24:034:014 At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an
           Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath
           served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: 
           but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their
           ear.

24:034:015 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in
           proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had
           made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my
           name: 

24:034:016 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his
           servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at
           liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into
           subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
