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.

The verse 10 is found in chapter 34 of Jeremiah. Zedekiah is warned that Jerusalem will be handed over to Babylon, but he is promised that he will die in peace and receive funeral honors. The chapter also recalls a temporary liberation of Hebrew slaves carried out during the siege. The initial act of obedience will later be reversed, revealing the moral inconsistency of the leaders.

Da gehorchten alle Fürsten und alles Volk, die solchen Bund eingegangen waren, daß ein jeglicher sollte seinen Knecht und seine Magd freigeben und sie nicht mehr leibeigen halten, und gaben sie los.
Y como oyeron todos los príncipes, y todo el pueblo que habían venido en el concierto de dejar cada uno su siervo y cada uno su sierva libres, que ninguno usase más de ellos como de siervos, obedecieron, y dejáronlos.
Todos los jefes y todo el pueblo que habían participado en el pacto aceptaron dejar libres a sus esclavos y esclavas y no mantenerlos más en esclavitud; obedecieron y los dejaron libres.
Tous les chefs et tout le peuple, qui étaient entrés dans le pacte, s'engagèrent à renvoyer libres chacun son esclave et sa servante, afin de ne plus les tenir dans la servitude; ils obéirent, et les renvoyèrent.
Or tutti i principi, e tutto il popolo che si erano convenuti in questo patto, di rimandare in libertà ciascuno il suo servo, e la sua serva, per non tenerli più in servitù, ubbidirono, e li rimandarono.
E obedeceram todos os príncipes, e todo o povo que havia entrado na aliança, que cada um despedisse livre o seu servo, e cada um a sua serva, de maneira que não se fizessem mais servir deles; obedeceram, pois, e os soltaram,
所有前來立約的領袖和眾百姓都順從,各人釋放自己的僕人和婢女,使他們得自由,不再叫他們作奴僕。大家都順從,將僕婢釋放了。
