Jeremiah 17:19-23

Keep the Sabbath Holy

19Thus said the Lord to me: “Go and stand in the People’s Gate, by which athe kings of Judah enter and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem, 20and say: ‘Hear the word of the Lord, byou kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates. 21Thus says the Lord: Take care for the sake of your lives, and cdo not bear a burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem. 22And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath dor do any work, but ekeep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers. 23Yet fthey did not listen or incline their ear, gbut stiffened their neck, that they hmight not hear and receive instruction.
