Jeremiah 17:25-27

Contemporary English Version

²⁵ then Judah and Jerusalem will always be ruled by kings from David's family. The king and his officials will ride through these gates on horses or in chariots, and the people of Judah and Jerusalem will be with them. There will always be people living in Jerusalem, ²⁶ and others will come here from the nearby villages, from the towns of Judah and Benjamin,^[a] from the hill country and the foothills to the west, and from the Southern Desert. They will bring sacrifices to please me and to give me thanks,^[b] as well as offerings of grain and incense.

²⁷ But if you keep on carrying things through the city gates on the Sabbath and keep treating it as any other day, I will set fire to these gates and burn down the whole city, including the fortresses.
