14 At the end of seven years you⁺ will send forth each man his brother, the Hebrew who has been sold to him. When he has served you six years, then you will send him forth free from you. Your⁺ fathers did not listen to Me and they did not incline their ear. 15 And you⁺ turned this day and did right in My eyes, proclaiming liberty, each man to his neighbor. And you⁺ cut a covenant before Me in the house upon which My name is called. 16 And you⁺ turned back and profaned My name, and each man his manservant and his maidservant whom he had sent forth free according to their soul, you⁺ made return and subjected them to become for you⁺ as menservants and maidservants. 17 Therefore, thus says YHWH: You⁺ have not listened to Me in proclaiming liberty, each man to his brother, and each man to his neighbor. Behold, I am proclaiming to you⁺ liberty, a declaration of YHWH, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine! And I will give have to trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth.
