Nehemiah 13:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ There dwelt men of Tyre there also who brought fish and all kinds of wares and sold on the Sabbath to the people of Judah and in Jerusalem.

¹⁷ Then I reproved the nobles of Judah and said, What evil thing is this that you do—profaning the Sabbath day?

¹⁸ Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us and upon this city? Yet you bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath.
