Jeremiah 17:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

¹⁹ This is what the Lord said to me: “Jeremiah, go and stand at the People’s Gate,^[a] where the kings of Judah go in and out. Tell the people my message, and then go to all the other gates of Jerusalem and do the same.”

²⁰ Say to the people, “Listen to this message from the Lord. Listen, kings of Judah. Listen, all you people of Judah. All you who come through these gates into Jerusalem, listen to me! ²¹ This is what the Lord says: ‘Be careful that you don’t carry a load on the Sabbath day. And don’t bring a load through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.
