Jeremiah 17:23

Restoring the Sabbath

22You must not carry a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath day, but you must keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I commanded your forefathers.23Yet they would not listen or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and would not listen or receive My discipline.
