Nehemiah 13:16-18
English Standard Version
16 Tyrians also, who lived in the city, brought in fish and all kinds of goods and sold them on the Sabbath to the people of Judah, in Jerusalem itself! 17 (A)Then I confronted the nobles of Judah and said to them, “What is this evil thing that you are doing, (B)profaning the Sabbath day? 18 (C)Did not your fathers act in this way, and did not our God bring all this disaster[a] on us and on this city? Now you are bringing more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”
