Jeremiah 34:16New American Bible - revised editionBut then you again profaned my name by taking back your male and female slaves whom you had just set free for life; you forced them to become your slaves again. See the chapter |
But if the just turn away from their right conduct and do evil when I place a stumbling block before them, then they shall die. Since you did not warn them about their sin, they shall still die, and the just deeds that they performed will not be remembered on their behalf. I will, however, hold you responsible for their blood.
