Nehemiah 13:16-18

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶ Also men of Tyre were living ^[a]there who brought in fish and all kinds of merchandise, and sold them to the sons of Judah on the sabbath, even in Jerusalem. ¹⁷ Then ^(A)I contended with the nobles of Judah and said to them, “What is this evil thing you are doing, even profaning the sabbath day? ^18 (B)Did not your fathers do the same, so our God brought on us and on this city all this calamity? Yet you are adding to His anger on Israel by profaning the sabbath.”
