Yirmeyahu 17:19-27 ירמיהו י״ז:י״ט-כ״ז

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

and say to them, Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Yehuda, and all Yehuda, and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, that enter in by these gates:

thus says the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Yerushalayim;

neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do any work, but hallow the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

And it shall come to pass, if you diligently hearken to me, says the Lord, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work on it;

then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes who sit upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Yehuda, and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim: and this city shall remain for ever.

And they shall come from the cities of Yehuda, and from the places about Yerushalayim, and from the land of Binyamin, and from the coastal plain, and from the mountains, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, to the house of the Lord.

But if you will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, and if you enter in at the gates of Yerushalayim on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Yerushalayim, and it shall not be quenched.
