Nehemiah 5:10-12

10 Moreover, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us abandon this exacting of interest. 11 Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the percentage of money, grain, wine, and oil that you have been exacting from them.” 12 Then they said, “We will restore these and ^arequire nothing from them. We will do as you say.” And I called the priests and ^bmade them swear ^cto do as they had promised.

Jeremiah 34:8-11

8 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after King Zedekiah ^dhad made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem ^eto make a proclamation of liberty to them, 9 ^fthat everyone should set free his Hebrew slaves, male and female, ^gso that no one should enslave a Jew, his brother. 10 And they obeyed, all the officials and all the people who had entered into the covenant that everyone would set free his slave, male or female, so that they would not be enslaved again. They obeyed and set them free. 11 But afterward they turned around and took back the male and female slaves ^hthey had set free, and brought them into subjection as slaves.

Micah 3:2-4

2 you ⁱwho hate the good and love the evil,
^jwho tear the skin from off my people ^{▼▼Hebrew from off them}
and their flesh from off their bones,
3 ^lwho eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
and chop them up like meat in a pot,
like flesh in a cauldron.
4 ^mThen they will cry to the Lord,
but he will not answer them;
ⁿhe will hide his face from them at that time,
because they have made their deeds evil.
