Jeremiah 17:19

17 Do not be a terror to me;
^aYou are my hope in the day of doom.

19 Thus the Lord said to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

20 and say to them, ^a‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates.

21 Thus says the Lord: ^a“Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

22 nor carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work, but hallow the Sabbath day, as I ^acommanded your fathers.

23 ^aBut they did not obey nor incline their ear, but¹ made their neck stiff, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.

24 “And it shall be, ^aif you heed Me carefully,” says the Lord, “to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the ^bSabbath day, but hallow the Sabbath day, to do no work in it,
