Jeremiah 17:19–22

OBSERVING THE SABBATH

19 This is what the Lord said to me, “Go and stand at the People’s Gate, through which the kings of Judah enter and leave, as well as at all the gates of Jerusalem. 20 Announce to them, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the residents of Jerusalem who enter through these gates. 21 This is what the Lord says: Watch yourselves; do not pick up a load and bring it in through Jerusalem’s gates on the Sabbath day.n 22 Do not carry a load out of your houses on the Sabbath day or do any work,o but keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I commanded your ancestors.p
