Nehemiah 13:16-19

16Men of Tyre also dweltH3427 therein, who broughtH935 fishH1709 and all manner of ware, and soldH4376 it on the sabbathH7676 to the children of JudahH3063, and in JerusalemH3389.

17And I contendedH7378 with the nobles of JudahH3063, and saidH559 to them, What evilH7451 thingH1697 is this which ye do, profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117?

18Did not your fathersH1 thusH3541, and did not our 1GodH430 bringH935 all this evilH7451 upon us and upon this cityH5892? And ye will bringH935 more wrath against IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676.

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