The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem to proclaim release to them:

“Now these are the ordinances which you are to set before them:

And to let the oppressed go free
And break every yoke?

Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of Israel and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they sell the righteous for money
And the needy for a pair of sandals.

And the needy for a pair of sandals,
And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?”

By which I have sent your mother away?

Behold, you were sold for your iniquities,
And for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

“However, You bore with them for many years,
And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets,
Yet they would not give ear.
Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

Will you judge them, will you judge them, son of man? Make them know the abominations of their fathers;
