²¹ This is what the Lord says: “Be careful! On the Sabbath day, don’t carry any load or bring anything through the gates of Jerusalem. ²² Don’t bring any load out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor are you to do any work. You are to consecrate^[a] the Sabbath day, just as I commanded your ancestors. ²³ But they didn’t listen, nor did they pay attention.^[b] They were determined^[c] not to listen and not to accept instruction.^[d]
