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.

The verse 11 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.

Aber darnach kehrten sie sich um und forderten die Knechte und Mägde wieder zu sich, die sie freigegeben hatten, und zwangen sie, daß sie Knechte und Mägde sein mußten.
Mas después se arrepintieron, e hicieron tornar los siervos y las siervas que habían dejado libres, y sujetáronlos por siervos y por siervas.
Pero después cambiaron de parecer, hicieron volver a los esclavos y esclavas que habían dejado libres y los sometieron de nuevo a esclavitud.
Mais ensuite ils changèrent d'avis; ils reprirent les esclaves et les servantes qu'ils avaient affranchis, et les forcèrent à redevenir esclaves et servantes.
Ma poi appresso fecero di nuovo tornare i servi, e le serve, che aveano rimandati in libertà, e li sforzarono ad esser loro servi, e serve.
Mas depois se arrependeram, e fizeram voltar os servos e as servas que haviam libertado, e os sujeitaram por servos e por servas.
但後來他們又反悔,叫被釋放得自由的僕人婢女回來,強迫他們仍為僕婢。
