Jeremiah 17:23
“(Verse 20 and following) Thus says the Lord: Guard your souls, and do not carry burdens on the Sabbath day, or bring them through the gates of Jerusalem. And do not cast burdens out of your houses on the Sabbath day, and you shall not do any work, and sanctify the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. But they did…”

21thus saith the Lord; Take heed to your souls, and take up no burdens on the Sabbath day, and go not forth through the gates of Jerusalem;
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.
— Jeremiah 17:23 —
24And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken to me, saith the Lord, to carry in no burdens through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and to sanctify the Sabbath day, so as to do no work upon it,
25that there shall enter through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, and riding on their chariots and horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the dwellers in Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited forever.
