Nehemiah 13:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Please remember what I have done, my God. I have been faithful to take care of the temple of my God, so that people can worship you there.

¹⁵ In those days, I saw people in Judah who were working on Sabbath days.^[a] They were making wine. They were bringing their grain from the fields. They were making their donkeys carry the grain, as well as wine, grapes, figs and other things. They were bringing all those things into Jerusalem when it was a Sabbath day. I warned them that they must not sell things on any Sabbath day.

¹⁶ People from Tyre who lived in Jerusalem sold fish and other things when it was a Sabbath day. They even brought those things into Jerusalem and sold them to the people of Judah.
