This is what the Lord has said to me :
Go and take your place in the doorway of Benjamin ,
where the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out ,
and in all the doorways of Jerusalem ;
bbe @
Jeremiah:17:20 @
And say to them ,
Give ear to the word of the Lord ,
you kings of Judah ,
and all the people of Jerusalem who come in by these doors :

This is what the Lord has said :
See to yourselves ,
that you take up no weight on the Sabbath day ,
or take it in through the doors of Jerusalem ;
bbe @
Jeremiah:17:22 @
And take no weight out of your houses on the Sabbath day ,
or do any work ,
but keep the Sabbath day holy ,
as I gave orders to your fathers ;
bbe @
Jeremiah:17:23 @
But they gave no attention and would not give ear ,
but they made their necks stiff so that they might not give ear and might not get teaching

Jeremiah:17:24 @
And it will be ,
that if with all care you give ear to me ,
says the Lord ,
and take no weight through the doorways of this town on the Sabbath day ,
but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work in it ;

Jeremiah:17:25 @
Then through the doors of this town there will come kings and princes ,
seated on the seat of David ,
going in carriages and on horseback ,
they and their princes ,
and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem :
and this town will keep its place for ever .

Jeremiah:17:26 @
And they will come from the towns of Judah ,
and from the places round about Jerusalem ,
and from the land of Benjamin ,
and from the lowlands ,
and from the mountains ,
and from the South ,
with burned offerings and offerings of beasts and meal offerings and perfume and offerings of praise ,
to the house of the Lord .

Jeremiah:17:27 @
But if you do not give ear to me ,
to keep the Sabbath day holy ,
and to let no weight be lifted and taken through the doors of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day :
then I will put a fire in its doorways ,
burning up the great houses of Jerusalem ,
and it will never be put out .
