Jeremiah

Jeremiah 17:21–23

²¹This is what the LORD says: Take heed for yourselves; do not carry a load or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. ²²You must not carry a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath day, but you must keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I commanded your forefathers. ²³Yet they would not listen or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and would not listen or receive My discipline.
