Jeremiah 34:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ when the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and all the remaining cities of Judah, that is, ^(A)Lachish and ^(B)Azekah, for they alone remained as ^(C)fortified cities among the cities of Judah.

⁸ The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had ^(D)made a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem, to ^(E)proclaim ^[a]release to them: ⁹ that each person was to set his male servant free and each his female servant, a ^(F)Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, so that ^(G)no one would keep them, his Jewish brother or sister, in bondage.
