19Thus saith the Lord; Go and stand in the gates of the children of thy people, by which the kings of Judah enter, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem:

20and thou shalt say to them, Hear the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judea, and all Jerusalem, all who go in at these gates:

— Jeremiah 17:21 —

22and carry forth no burdens out of your houses on the Sabbath day, and ye shall do no work: sanctify the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

23But they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but stiffened their neck more than their fathers did, so as not to hear me, and not to receive correction.
