17 Do not be a terror unto me; thou art my hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but do not let me be confounded; let them be dismayed; but do not let me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Thus said the Lord unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people by which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20 and say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 Thus hath the Lord said: Take heed for your lives, and bring no burden on the sabbath day to bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22 neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do any work, but sanctify the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers,
23 who did not hear, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive correction.
