21ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “1TakeH8104 heedH8104 for yourselvesH5315, and 2do not carryH5375 any loadH4853 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 or bringH935 anything in through the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389. 22You shall not bringH3318 a loadH4853 out of your housesH1004 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 3norH3808 doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399, but keepH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 holyH6942, as I 4commandedH6680 your 5forefathersH1. 23Yet they 6did not listenH8085 or inclineH5186 their earsH241, but 7stiffenedH7185 their necksH6203 in order not to listenH8085 or takeH3947 correctionH4148.

24“But it will comeH1961 about, ifH518 you 8listenH8085 attentivelyH8085 to Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “to 9bringH935 noH1115 loadH4853 in through the gatesH8179 of thisH2088 cityH5892 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, 10but to keepH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 holyH6942 by doingH6213 noH1115H3605 workH4399 on it, 2511then there will comeH935 in through the gatesH8179 of thisH2088 cityH5892 kingsH4428 and princesH8269 12sittingH3427 on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, they and their princesH8269, the menH376 of JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thisH2088 13cityH5892 will be inhabitedH3427 foreverH5769. 26They will comeH935 in from the 14citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and from the environsH5439 of JerusalemH3389, from the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, from the 15lowlandH8219, from the hillH2022 countryH2022 and from the 16NegevH5045, bringingH935 burntH5930 offeringsH5930, sacrificesH2077, grain offeringsH4503 and incenseH3828, and bringingH935 sacrificesH8426 of thanksgivingH8426 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 27But 17ifH518 you do not listenH8085 to Me to keepH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 holyH6942 by not carryingH5375 a loadH4853 and comingH935 in through the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, then 18I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in its gatesH8179 and it will 19devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389 and 20not be quenchedH3518.”’”
