The Lord says,“ The people of Israel have sinned again and again. So I will judge them. They sell into slavery those who have done no wrong. They trade needy people for a mere pair of sandals.

You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks. You wanted to send them far away from their own country.

“‘ Suppose any of your own people become poor. And suppose they sell themselves to you. Then do not make them work as slaves.You must treat them like hired workers. Or you must treat them like those living among you for a while. They must work for you until the Year of Jubilee.Then they and their children must be set free. They will go back to their own tribes. They will go back to the property their people have always owned.The Israelites are my servants. I brought them out of Egypt. So they must not be sold as slaves.

I said,“ Our Jewish brothers and sisters were sold to other nations. We’ve done everything we could to buy them back and bring them home. But look at what you are doing! You are actually selling your own people! Now we’ll have to buy them back too!” The people kept quiet. They couldn’t think of anything to say.

Some men and their wives cried out against their Jewish brothers and sisters.Some of them were saying,“ There are now many of us. We have many sons and daughters. We have to get some grain so we can eat and stay alive.”Others were saying,“ We’re being forced to sell our fields, vineyards and homes. We have to do it to buy grain. There isn’t enough food for everyone.”Still others were saying,“ We’ve had to borrow money. We needed it to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.We belong to the same family lines as the rest of our people. Our children are as good as theirs. But we’ve had to sell them off as slaves. Some of our daughters have already been made slaves. But we can’t do anything about it. That’s because our fields and vineyards now belong to others.”

They cast lots for my people. They sold boys into slavery to get prostitutes. They sold girls to buy some wine to drink.

Listen to me, you who walk all over needy people. You crush those who are poor in the land.
