“When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod, and the slave dies under his abuse, the owner must be punished.

Remember, Lord, the ridicule against Your servants—
in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples—

So I defiled the officers of the sanctuary,
and set Jacob apart for destruction
and Israel for abuse.

But King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am worried about the Judeans who have deserted to the Chaldeans. They may hand me over to the Judeans to abuse me.”
