Jeremiah 34:17
_ _ not ... proclaiming liberty — Though the Jews had ostensibly emancipated their bond-servants, they virtually did not do so by revoking the liberty which they had granted. God looks not to outward appearances, but to the sincere intention.
_ _ I proclaim a liberty — retribution answering to the offense (Matthew 7:2; Matthew 18:32, Matthew 18:33; Galatians 6:7; James 2:13). The Jews who would not give liberty to their brethren shall themselves receive “a liberty” calamitous to them. God will manumit them from His happy and safe service (Psalms 121:3), which is real “liberty” (Psalms 119:45; John 8:36; 2 Corinthians 3:17), only to pass under the terrible bondage of other taskmasters, the “sword,” etc.
_ _ to be removed — The Hebrew expresses agitation (see on Jeremiah 15:4). Compare Deuteronomy 28:25, Deuteronomy 28:48, Deuteronomy 28:64, Deuteronomy 28:65, as to the restless agitation of the Jews in their ceaseless removals from place to place in their dispersion. |

Behold — You shall perish by the sword, famine and pestilence, and those of you who escape them, shall be slaves, in many nations. |

(g) That is, I give the sword liberty to destroy you. |

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Ezekiel 14:17-21 Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: ...
