18 aLet them be ashamed who persecute me,
But bdo not let me be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed,
But do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of doom,
And cdestroy them with double destruction!
But bdo not let me be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed,
But do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of doom,
And cdestroy them with double destruction!
Hallow the Sabbath Day
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,
25 athen shall enter the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, accompanied by the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah and from athe places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and from bthe lowland, from the mountains and from cthe South, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and incense, bringing dsacrifices of praise to the house of the Lord.
27 “But if you will not heed Me to hallow the Sabbath day, such as not carrying a burden when entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then aI will kindle a fire in its gates, band it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be cquenched.” ’ ”
