Nehemiah 13:16-19

16There dweltH3427 men of Tyre also therein, who broughtH935 in fishH1709, and all manner of wares, and soldH4376 on the sabbathH7676 unto the children of JudahH3063, and in JerusalemH3389. 17Then I contendedH7378 with the nobles of JudahH3063, and saidH559 unto them, What evilH7451 thingH1697 is this that ye do, and profaneH2490 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117? 18Did not your fathersH1 thusH3541, and did not our GodH430 bringH935 all this evilH7451 upon us, and upon this cityH5892? yet ye bringH935 more wrath upon IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676.

19And it cameH935 to pass that, when the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 began to beH1961 dark before the sabbathH7676, I commanded that the doorsH1817 should beH1961 shutH5462, and commanded that they should not beH1961 openedH6605 till after the sabbathH7676: and some of my servantsH5288 setH5975 I over the gatesH8179, that there should no burdenH4853 beH1961 broughtH935 in on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.
