Nehemiah 13:16-18

New American Standard Bible

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