Isaiah 58:13-14

13 ^a“If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath,
from doing your pleasure ^{▼▼Or business} on my holy day,
and call the Sabbath a delight
and the holy day of the Lord honorable;
if you honor it, not going your own ways,
or seeking ^cyour own pleasure, ^{▼▼Or pursuing your own business} or talking idly; ^{▼▼Hebrew or speaking a word}
14 then you shall take delight in the Lord,
^fand I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; ^{▼▼Or of the land}
^hI will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
ⁱfor the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Jeremiah 17:21-27

21 Thus says the Lord: Take care for the sake of your lives, and ^jdo not bear a burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem. 22 And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath ^kor do any work, but ^lkeep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers. 23 Yet ^mthey did not listen or incline their ear, ⁿbut stiffened their neck, that they ^omight not hear and receive instruction.

24 “‘But if you listen to me, declares the Lord, and ^pbring in no burden by the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but ^qkeep the Sabbath day holy and do no work on it, 25 then ^rthere shall enter by the gates of this city kings and princes who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their officials, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever. 26 And people shall come from ^sthe cities of Judah ^tand the places around Jerusalem, ^ufrom the land of Benjamin, ^vfrom the Shephelah, from the hill country, ^wand from ^xthe Negeb, bringing ^yburnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and ^zbringing thank offerings to the house of the Lord. 27 But if you do not listen to me, to ^aakeep the Sabbath day holy, ^aband not to bear a burden and enter by the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will ^ackindle a fire in its gates, and it shall ^addevour the palaces of Jerusalem and ^aeshall not be quenched.’”
