A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Isaac-- (Psa 105:9; Amo 7:9, Amo 7:16).

The prophecy (Jer 34:1-7) as to Zedekiah is an amplification of that in Jer 32:1-5, in consequence of which Jeremiah was then shut up in the court of the prison. The prophecy (Jer 34:8-22) refers to the Jews, who, afraid of the capture of the city, had, in obedience to the law, granted freedom to their servants at the end of seven years, but on the intermission of the siege forced them back into bondage.

8 This is the word [01697] that came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], after [0310] that the king [04428] Zedekiah [06667] had made [03772] a covenant [01285] with all the people [05971] which were at Jerusalem [03389], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] unto them;
9 That every man [0376] should let his manservant [05650], and every man [0376] his maidservant [08198], being an Hebrew [05680] or an Hebrewess [05680], go [07971] free [02670]; that none should serve [05647] himself of them, to wit, of a Jew [03064] his brother [0251].
10 Now when all the princes [08269], and all the people [05971], which had entered [0935] into the covenant [01285], heard [08085] that every one [0376] should let his manservant [05650], and every one [0376] his maidservant [08198], go [07971] free [02670], that none should serve [05647] themselves of them any more, then they obeyed [08085], and let them go [07971].
11 But afterward [0310] they turned [07725], and caused the servants [05650] and the handmaids [08198], whom they had let go [07971] free [02670], to return [07725], and brought them into subjection [03533] [03533] for servants [05650] and for handmaids [08198].
12 Therefore the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559],
13 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; I made [03772] a covenant [01285] with your fathers [01] in the day [03117] that I brought them forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], out of the house [01004] of bondmen [05650], saying [0559],
14 At the end [07093] of seven [07651] years [08141] let ye go [07971] every man [0376] his brother [0251] an Hebrew [05680], which hath been sold [04376] unto thee; and when he hath served [05647] thee six [08337] years [08141], thou shalt let him go [07971] free [02670] from thee: but your fathers [01] hearkened [08085] not unto me, neither inclined [05186] their ear [0241].
15 And ye were now [03117] turned [07725], and had done [06213] right [03477] in my sight [05869], in proclaiming [07121] liberty [01865] every man [0376] to his neighbour [07453]; and ye had made [03772] a covenant [01285] before [06440] me in the house [01004] which is called [07121] by my name [08034]:
16 But ye turned [07725] and polluted [02490] my name [08034], and caused every man [0376] his servant [05650], and every man [0376] his handmaid [08198], whom ye had set [07971] at liberty [02670] at their pleasure [05315], to return [07725], and brought them into subjection [03533], to be unto you for servants [05650] and for handmaids [08198].
17 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Ye have not hearkened [08085] unto me, in proclaiming [07121] liberty [01865], every one [0376] to his brother [0251], and every man [0376] to his neighbour [07453]: behold, I proclaim [07121] a liberty [01865] for you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], to the sword [02719], to the pestilence [01698], and to the famine [07458]; and I will make [05414] you to be removed [02189] [02113] into all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776].
18 And I will give [05414] the men [0582] that have transgressed [05674] my covenant [01285], which have not performed [06965] the words [01697] of the covenant [01285] which they had made [03772] before [06440] me, when they cut [03772] the calf [05695] in twain [08147], and passed [05674] between the parts [01335] thereof,
19 The princes [08269] of Judah [03063], and the princes [08269] of Jerusalem [03389], the eunuchs [05631], and the priests [03548], and all the people [05971] of the land [0776], which passed [05674] between the parts [01335] of the calf [05695];
20 I will even give [05414] them into the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341], and into the hand [03027] of them that seek [01245] their life [05315]: and their dead bodies [05038] shall be for meat [03978] unto the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], and to the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776].
21 And Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] and his princes [08269] will I give [05414] into the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341], and into the hand [03027] of them that seek [01245] their life [05315], and into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428], which are gone up [05927] from you.
22 Behold, I will command [06680], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and cause them to return [07725] to this city [05892]; and they shall fight [03898] against it, and take [03920] it, and burn [08313] it with fire [0784]: and I will make [05414] the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] a desolation [08077] without an inhabitant [03427].
1 The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068] in the tenth [06224] year [08141] of Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], which was the eighteenth [08083] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019].
2 For then the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428] besieged [06696] Jerusalem [03389]: and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] was shut up [03607] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307], which was in the king [04428] of Judah's [03063] house [01004].
3 For Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] had shut him up [03607], saying [0559], Wherefore dost thou prophesy [05012], and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will give [05414] this city [05892] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall take [03920] it;
4 And Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] shall not escape [04422] out of the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], but shall surely [05414] be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and shall speak [01696] with him mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], and his eyes [05869] shall behold [07200] his eyes [05869];
5 And he shall lead [03212] Zedekiah [06667] to Babylon [0894], and there shall he be until I visit [06485] him, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: though ye fight [03898] with the Chaldeans [03778], ye shall not prosper [06743].
1 The word [01697] which came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], when Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and all his army [02428], and all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776] of his dominion [03027] [04475], and all the people [05971], fought [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and against all the cities [05892] thereof, saying [0559],
2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Go [01980] and speak [0559] to Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and tell [0559] him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will give [05414] this city [05892] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall burn [08313] it with fire [0784]:
3 And thou shalt not escape out [04422] of his hand [03027], but shalt surely [08610] be taken [08610], and delivered [05414] into his hand [03027]; and thine eyes [05869] shall behold [07200] the eyes [05869] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall speak [01696] with thee mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], and thou shalt go [0935] to Babylon [0894].
4 Yet hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], O Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of thee, Thou shalt not die [04191] by the sword [02719]:
5 But thou shalt die [04191] in peace [07965]: and with the burnings [04955] of thy fathers [01], the former [07223] kings [04428] which were before [06440] thee, so shall they burn [08313] odours for thee; and they will lament [05594] thee, saying, Ah [01945] lord [0113]! for I have pronounced [01696] the word [01697], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
6 Then Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] spake [01696] all these words [01697] unto Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] in Jerusalem [03389],
7 When the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428] fought [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and against all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] that were left [03498], against Lachish [03923], and against Azekah [05825]: for these defenced [04013] cities [05892] remained [07604] of the cities [05892] of Judah [03063].
16 Now therefore hear [08085] thou the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]: Thou sayest [0559], Prophesy [05012] not against Israel [03478], and drop [05197] not thy word against the house [01004] of Isaac [03446].
9 And the high places [01116] of Isaac [03446] shall be desolate [08074], and the sanctuaries [04720] of Israel [03478] shall be laid waste [02717]; and I will rise [06965] against the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379] with the sword [02719].
9 Which covenant he made [03772] with Abraham [085], and his oath [07621] unto Isaac [03446];
