17. Do not be a terror to me;You are my hope in the day of disaster.
18. Let those who persecute me be humiliated,but let me not be humiliated;let them be dismayed,but let me not be dismayed.Bring upon them the day of evil,and destroy them with double destruction.
19. Thus the Lord said to me: Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people whereby the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
20. And say to them: Hear the word of the Lord, kings of Judah, and all Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem who enter by these gates.
21. Thus says the Lord: Take heed to yourselves, and do not bear any load on the Sabbath day nor bring anything in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22. You shall not carry a load out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
