「如果你們的希伯來同胞，不論男女，賣身給你們做奴隸，他們要服侍你們六年，到第七年，你們要給他們自由。

耶和華對撒母耳說：「你照他們所說的去做吧，因為他們不是拒絕你，而是拒絕我做他們的王。自從我把他們從埃及領出來以後，他們就常常背棄我，去供奉其他神明。現在，他們也這樣對待你。

所羅門王沒有讓以色列人服勞役，而是讓他們做戰士、官長、統帥、將領、戰車長和騎兵長。

耶和華藉著祂的眾先知和先見警告以色列人和猶大人說：「你們要離開惡道，遵守我的誡命和律例，即我吩咐你們祖先遵守並藉著我的僕人——眾先知傳給你們的律法。」但他們充耳不聞，像他們祖先一樣頑固不化，不信靠他們的上帝耶和華，

你們用銀子買貧民，以一雙鞋買窮人為奴，售賣摻了糠秕的麥子。

現在你們竟還想讓猶大和耶路撒冷的男女做你們的僕俾。你們豈不也得罪你們的上帝耶和華嗎？

以色列人和猶大人從一開始就行我視為惡的事，他們的所作所為惹我發怒。這是耶和華說的。

從來沒有人像亞哈那樣受妻子耶洗別唆使，一心做耶和華視為惡的事。

「六年之內你要耕種收割，第七年要讓土地休息，不耕不種，你們當中的窮人可以吃田中長出來的，剩下的可以留給動物吃。你也要這樣耕作葡萄園和橄欖園。

耶和華說：「我休你們母親的休書在哪裡呢？我把你們賣給了我哪一個債主呢？你們被賣是因為你們的罪惡，你們母親被休是因為你們的過犯。

從你們的祖先離開埃及那天起，一直到今天，我日復一日地差遣我的僕人——眾先知到你們那裡，但你們掩耳不聽，頑固不化，比你們的祖先更邪惡。

「『然而，他們卻背叛我，不聽我的話，沒有除去他們祭拜的可憎之物和埃及的偶像。我本想在埃及向他們發烈怒，傾倒我的怒火，

西底迦王與耶路撒冷的居民立約讓他們釋放自己的奴隸之後，耶和華的話傳給了耶利米。西底迦王吩咐各人要釋放自己的希伯來奴隸，任何人都不應使自己的同胞做奴隸。

你多年來容忍他們，差遣你的靈藉著你的眾先知警告他們，但他們依然不肯聽從，於是你把他們交在列邦手中。

人子啊，你要審判他們？你要審判他們？要使他們知道他們祖先所做的可憎之事。

他們卻嘲弄耶和華上帝的使者，藐視祂的話，嘲笑祂的先知，以致祂的憤怒臨到祂的子民身上，無可挽救。

我真是苦啊！誰能救我脫離這個被死亡控制的身體呢？

我們知道律法是屬靈的，我卻屬乎肉體，已經賣給罪做奴隸了。我不明白自己的所作所為，因為我想做的，我做不到；而我憎恨的惡事，我偏偏去做！既然我不想做的，我反倒去做，我就得承認律法是好的。其實那並不是我做的，而是住在我裡面的罪做的。

「『我要的禁食是，除去罪惡的鎖鏈，解開軛上的繩索，折斷一切的軛，使受欺壓的人得到自由，

「你要向百姓頒佈下列法令。你若買一個希伯來人當奴僕，他必須服侍你六年，到第七年便可以獲得自由，不用支付任何贖金。倘若買他的時候，他是單身，那麼期滿的時候，他可以單身離開。如果他跟妻子一同被買，就可以帶妻子一起離開。倘若主人給他娶了妻，妻子生了兒女，那麼期滿的時候，他只能單獨離開，他的妻兒要歸主人。

然而，他們卻不聽不理，人人憑自己頑固的惡念行事。因此，我要使約中的一切咒詛臨到他們，因為我吩咐他們遵守這約，他們卻拒絕遵守。」耶和華對我說：「猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民陰謀背叛我。他們重蹈祖先的覆轍，不聽從我的話，跟從、祭拜別的神明。以色列和猶大都違背了我與他們祖先立的約。

他們卻不理會，背過身去，充耳不聞，心如鐵石，不遵從律法，也不遵從萬軍之耶和華藉著祂的靈指示從前的先知所說的話。因此，萬軍之耶和華非常憤怒。

耶和華說：「以色列人三番四次地犯罪，我必不收回對他們的懲罰，因為他們為了銀子賣掉義人，為了一雙鞋子賣掉窮人。
