In those daysh3117 sawh7200h8804 I in Judahh3063 some treadingh1869h8802 wine pressesh1660 on the sabbathh7676, and bringing inh935h8688 sheavesh6194, and ladingh6006h8802 assesh2543; as also wineh3196, grapesh6025, and figsh8384, and all manner of burdensh4853, which they broughth935h8688 into Jerusalemh3389 on the sabbathh7676 dayh3117: and I testifiedh5749h8686 against them in the dayh3117 wherein they soldh4376h8800 victualsh6718.

16

There dwelth3427h8804 men of Tyreh6876 also therein, which broughth935h8688 fishh1709h8675h1709, and all manner of wareh4377, and soldh4376h8802 on the sabbathh7676 unto the childrenh1121 of Judahh3063, and in Jerusalemh3389.

17

Then I contendedh7378h8799 with the noblesh2715 of Judahh3063, and saidh559h8799 unto them, What evilh7451 thingh1697 is this that ye doh6213h8802, and profaneh2490h8764 the sabbathh7676 dayh3117?

Didh6213h8804 not your fathersh1 thus, and didh935 not our Godh430 bringh935h8686 all this evilh7451 upon us, and upon this cityh5892? yet ye bringh935h8686 moreh3254h8688 wrathh2740 upon Israelh3478 by profaningh2490h8763 the sabbathh7676.

19

And it came to pass, that when the gatesh8179 of Jerusalemh3389 began to be darkh6751h8804 beforeh6440 the sabbathh7676, I commandedh559h8799 that the gatesh1817 should be shuth5462h8735, and chargedh559h8799 that they should not be openedh6605h8799 till afterh310 the sabbathh7676: and some of my servantsh5288 seth5975h8689 I at the gatesh8179, that there should no burdenh4853 be brought inh935h8799 on the sabbathh7676 dayh3117.

20

So the merchantsh7402h8802 and sellersh4376h8802 of all kind of wareh4465 lodgedh3885h8799 withouth2351 Jerusalemh3389 onceh6471 or twiceh8147.

21

Then I testifiedh5749h8686 against them, and saidh559h8799 unto them, Why lodgeh3885h8801 ye abouth5048 the wallh2346? if ye do so againh8138h8799, I will layh7971h8799 handsh3027 on you. From that timeh6256 forth cameh935h8804 they no more on the sabbathh7676. about: Heb. before

26

Did not Solomonh8010 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 sinh2398h8804 by these things? yet among manyh7227 nationsh1471 was there no kingh4428 like him, who was belovedh157h8803 of his Godh430, and Godh430 madeh5414h8799 him kingh4428 over all Israelh3478: nevertheless even himh1571 did outlandishh5237 womenh802 cause to sinh2398h8689.

27

Shall we then hearkenh8085h8799 unto you to doh6213h8800 all this greath1419 evilh7451, to transgressh4603h8800 against our Godh430 in marryingh3427h8687 strangeh5237 wivesh802?

28

And one of the sonsh1121 of Joiadah3111, the sonh1121 of Eliashibh475 the highh1419 priesth3548, was son in lawh2860 to Sanballath5571 the Horoniteh2772: therefore I chasedh1272h8686 him from me.

29

Rememberh2142h8798 them, O my Godh430, because they have defiledh1352 the priesthoodh3550, and the covenanth1285 of the priesthoodh3550, and of the Levitesh3881. because...: Heb. for the defilings

Thus cleansedh2891h8765 I them from all strangersh5236, and appointedh5975h8686 the wardsh4931 of the priestsh3548 and the Levitesh3881, every oneh376 in his businessh4399;

31

And for the woodh6086 offeringh7133, at timesh6256 appointedh2163h8794, and for the firstfruitsh1061. Rememberh2142h8798 me, O my Godh430, for goodh2896.
