Thematic Bible: The inhabitants of jerusalem

This is what the Lord says: Watch yourselves; do not pick up a load and bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. You must not carry a load out of your houses on the Sabbath day or do any work, but you must consecrate the Sabbath day, just as I commanded your ancestors. They wouldn't listen or pay attention but became obstinate, not listening or accepting discipline.
