Jeremiah 17:19-21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Hallow the Sabbath Day

¹⁹ Thus said the Lord to me: “Go and stand in the Benjamin^[a] Gate, by which the kings of Judah enter and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem, ²⁰ and say: ‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates. ²¹ Thus says the Lord: Take heed for the sake of your lives, and do not bear a burden on the sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
