Nehemiah 13:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ In those days I saw people in Judah working in the winepresses on the Sabbath day. They were bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys. And they were bringing loads of wine, grapes, and figs into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them about selling food on that day. ¹⁶ People from the city of Tyre who were living in Jerusalem brought in fish and other things and sold them there on the Sabbath day to the people of Judah. ¹⁷ I argued with the important men of Judah and said to them, “What is this evil thing you are doing? You are ruining the Sabbath day.
