Nehemiah 13:14-16

New English Translation

¹⁴ Please remember me for this, O my God, and do not wipe out the kindness that I have done for the temple of my God and for its services!

¹⁵ In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath, bringing in heaps of grain and loading them onto donkeys, along with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of loads, and bringing them to Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them on the day that they sold these provisions. ¹⁶ The people from Tyre who lived there were bringing fish and all kinds of merchandise and were selling it on the Sabbath to the people of Judah—and in Jerusalem, of all places!^[a]
