Commentary on Jeremiah 34:17
This is measure-for-measure justice. Judah refused to proclaim liberty to slaves (violating covenant law), so God proclaims liberty to sword, pestilence, and famine to devour them. The Hebrew word 'deror' (liberty/freedom) is used ironically - they'll have 'freedom' to be destroyed. God's judgment often gives people what they desired but with devastating consequences.
