15 In those days I saw in Judah those treading winepresses on the Sabbath, and bringing in the heaps of grain, and lifting loads upon the donkeys, and also wine, and grapes, and figs, and every load carried; and they were bringing it to Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath. And I protested on the day of their selling provision. 16 And the Tyrians who dwelt in it were bringing fish and every of merchandise and selling on the Sabbath to the sons of Judah, even in Jerusalem. 17 And I contended with the nobles of Judah, and I said to them, “What is this evil thing that you? are doing, and profaning the day of the Sabbath? 18 Thus did not your? fathers do, and our God brought upon us all this disaster, and upon this city? And you? are adding to wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath!” Nehemiah 13:15-18, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
