Jeremiah 17:21-23 The Message (MSG)
“‘This is GOD’s Message. Be careful, if you care about your lives, not to desecrate the Sabbath by turning it into just another workday, lugging stuff here and there.

They paid no attention to what I said and went about their own business, refusing to be guided or instructed by me.

In fact, I’ll burn the whole city down, palaces and all, with a fire nobody will be able to put out!’”
