Jeremiah 17:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ But they did not listen. They did not pay any attention to me. They were stubborn. They would not listen or pay attention when I corrected them. ²⁴ Be careful to obey me,” announces the Lord. “Do not bring a load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day. Instead, keep the Sabbath day holy. Do not do any work on it. ²⁵ Then kings who sit on David’s throne will come through the gates of this city. They and their officials will come riding in chariots and on horses. The people of Judah and Jerusalem will come along with them. And this city will always have people living in it.
