Jeremiah 17:19-23

Jeremiah 17:19-23

[19] Thus said  the LORD  unto me; Go  and stand  in the gate  of the children  of the people,  whereby the kings  of Judah  come in,  and by the which they go out,  and in all the gates  of Jerusalem;  [20] And say  unto them, Hear  ye the word  of the LORD,  ye kings  of Judah,  and all the inhabitants  of Jerusalem,  that enter in  by these gates:  [21] Thus saith  the LORD;  Take heed  to yourselves,  and bear  no burden  on the sabbath  day,  nor bring  it in by the gates  of Jerusalem;  [22] Neither carry forth  a burden  out of your houses  on the sabbath  day,  neither do  ye any work,  but hallow  ye the sabbath  day,  as I commanded  your fathers.  [23] But they obeyed  not, neither inclined  their ear,  but made their neck  stiff,  that they might not hear,  nor receive  instruction.
