Jeremiah 34:12 meaning
In a time of great turmoil for the people of Judah, a stark revelation came from the Lord through the prophet Jeremiah. This passage follows an episode where King Zedekiah and the citizens of Jerusalem had initially honored a covenant to free their Hebrew servants, aligning their actions with the commands set forth in the Mosaic Law. However, this temporary act of mercy quickly faded as fear and hope wavered—they re-enslaved those formerly freed, demonstrating a blatant disregard for their commitment to God and the principles of justice that underpin His covenant.
