Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 34 of Jeremiah. The violation of the covenant to release slaves produces a strong denunciation. The leaders had made a solemn covenant, but then returned to enslaving those they had freed. God interprets the reversal as a profanation of his name and announces that the enemy army will return to complete the judgment.

Compare Jeremiah 34:17 in different Bible versions and see how its wording varies between translations. These differences can help you better understand the meaning and context of the passage.
Darum spricht der HERR also: Ihr gehorchtet mir nicht, daß ihr ein Freijahr ausriefet ein jeglicher seinem Bruder und seinem Nächsten; siehe, so rufe ich, spricht der HERR, euch ein Freijahr aus zum Schwert, zur Pestilenz, zum Hunger, und will euch in keinem Königreich auf Erden bleiben lassen.
Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: Vosotros no me habéis oído en promulgar cada uno libertad a su hermano, y cada uno a su compañero: he aquí que yo os promulgo libertad, dice Jehová, a cuchillo y a pestilencia, y a hambre; y os pondré en remoción a todos los reinos de la tierra.
Por eso, así dice Jehová: Ustedes no me obedecieron proclamando cada uno la libertad de su hermano y de su prójimo. Ahora yo proclamo para ustedes libertad —declara Jehová—: libertad para la espada, la peste y el hambre. Los convertiré en motivo de horror para todos los reinos de la tierra.
C'est pourquoi ainsi parle l'Eternel: Vous ne m'avez point obéi, en publiant la liberté chacun pour son frère, chacun pour son prochain. Voici, je publie contre vous, dit l'Eternel, la liberté de l'épée, de la peste et de la famine, et je vous rendrai un objet d'effroi pour tous les royaumes de la terre.
Perciò, così ha detto il Signore: Voi non mi avete ubbidito, per bandir libertà ciascuno al suo fratello, e ciascuno al suo prossimo; ecco, io vi bandisco libertà, dice il Signore, alla spada, alla pestilenza, ed alla fame; e farò che sarete agitati per tutti i regni della terra.
Portanto assim diz o SENHOR: Vós não me ouvistes a mim, para apregoardes a liberdade, cada um ao seu irmão, e cada um ao seu próximo; pois eis que eu vos apregôo a liberdade, diz o SENHOR, para a espada, para a pestilência, e para a fome; e farei que sejais espanto a todos os reinos da terra.
所以耶和華如此說:你們不聽從我,各人不向弟兄鄰舍宣告自由。看哪!我要向你們宣告自由,把你們自由地交給刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫,並且使地上萬國因你們而驚駭。這是耶和華說的。
