Jeremiah, 34
22. I will give the command, says the LORD, and bring them back to this city. They shall attack and capture it, and destroy it with fire; the cities of Judah I will turn into a desert where no man dwells.

Jeremiah 34 describes God's message to King Zedekiah and the leaders of Judah to free their Hebrew slaves according to God's law. The chapter also shows their disobedience and the consequent divine punishment. Here are five verses related to the topics addressed in Jeremiah 34:
Leviticus 25:39-40: "If your brother impoverishes and sells some part of his possession, then he who has the power to rescue what his brother has sold, do so. And if the man has no one to rescue. But he himself reaches a lot to the ransom, "this verse is part of God's laws on slave liberation and the restitution of properties. These laws were violated by Judah's leaders in Jeremiah 34.
Deuteronomy 15:12-13: "When your Hebrew brother or your sister Hebrea sells to you, six years will serve, but by the seventh year you will say the lining." This is another example of God's laws on the liberation of slaves, and the need to respect them. These laws were violated by Judah's leaders in Jeremiah 34.
Deuteronomy 28:48: "Therefore, thou shalt serve your enemies that the Lord will send against you, hungry, and thirst, and with nudity, and lacking everything; and over your neck there will be an iron yoke until you will has destroyed. " This verse describes the consequence of disobedience to God's laws, such as the violation of laws on the liberation of slaves in Jeremiah 34.
Jeremiah 22:13: "Woe to him who builds his home with injustice, and his rooms without right, who serves the service of his neighbor without remunerating him, and does not give him the salary of his work." This verse is similar to the message of Jeremiah 34, for it speaks of those who exploit others without paying fair wages, thus violating the laws of God.
Jeremiah 7:5-6: "But your paths and your works are really amended, you are very much to perform justice between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the foreigner, and the orphan, and the widow, nor spill blood Innocent in this place, not even walking after other gods for your own evil, "this verse is part of the general message of Jeremiah, which is the need to obey the laws of God and do what is just and correct. This includes the need to free the Hebrew slaves, as described in Jeremiah 34.
