Warning about Sabbath Violations

Jeremiah 17:19-27

17
Chapter 17
19 This is what the LORD says to me: Go and stand in the People's Gate, through which the kings of Judah enter and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem. 20 And you shall say to them, "Hear the word of the LORD, kings of Judah and all Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem who come in these gates." 21 Thus says the LORD: Guard your lives and do not bear a burden on the day of the Sabbath or bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem. 22 And do not bring a burden out from your houses on the day of the Sabbath, and you shall not do any work, and you shall sanctify the day of the Sabbath just as I commanded your fathers. 23 And they did not listen or incline their ear, but they stiffened their neck so as not to hear and not to take discipline. 24 And it shall be if, listening, you listen to me—oracle of the LORD—not to bring a burden in the gates of this city on the day of the Sabbath, and to sanctify the day of the Sabbath, not to do in it any work. 25 And they will come through the gates of this city—kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in a chariot and on horses, they and their princes, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem—and this city will dwell forever. 26 And they will come from the cities of Judah and from the surroundings of Jerusalem and from the land of Benjamin and from the Shephelah and from the hill country and from the south, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices and grain offerings and frankincense, and bringing thanksgiving sacrifices, to the house of the LORD. 27 And if you do not listen to me to sanctify the day of the Sabbath and not to bear a burden and come in the gates of Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it will not be quenched.
