Jeremiah 17:24

Restoring the Sabbath

23Yet they would not listen or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and would not listen or receive My discipline.24If, however, you listen carefully to Me, says the LORD, and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and keep the Sabbath day holy, and do no work on it,25then kings and princes will enter through the gates of this city. They will sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses with their officials, along with the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
