Listen to Jeremías 17:27

Jeremías 17:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 17:27

But if ye will not hearken unto me
With respect to this particular point, more especially: to hallow the sabbath day;
to keep it holy to the Lord in a religious way, in the exercise of the duties of religion, both public and private: and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem
on the sabbath day;
or, "and go through"; or, so as "to go through" F12 &c; and may intend either one and the same thing, namely entering in at the gates with a burden upon the shoulders; or two things, bearing a burden, and carrying it any where in or out of the city; and an unnecessary passing and repassing through the gates of the city, whether a man has or has not a burden upon him, since the sabbath might be violated either way: then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof;
where the prophet was to publish all this, and where the people sinned by passing and repassing, and carrying burdens in and out on the sabbath day: and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem;
the king's palace, and the palaces of the princes and nobles, as well as the cottages of the poorer sort: and it shall not be quenched;
until it has utterly destroyed the city: this was fulfilled by the Chaldeans, ( Jeremiah 52:13 ) . The Jews say there is no fire kindled but where the sabbath is profaned; and that Jerusalem was destroyed because they profaned the sabbath F13.

Jeremías 17:27 In-Context

25 entonces entrarán por las puertas de esta ciudad reyes y príncipes que se sienten sobre el trono de David; vendrán montados en carros y caballos, ellos y sus príncipes, los hombres de Judá y los habitantes de Jerusalén; y esta ciudad será habitada para siempre.
26 'Vendrán de las ciudades de Judá y de los alrededores de Jerusalén, de la tierra de Benjamín, de la tierra baja, de la región montañosa y del Neguev, trayendo holocaustos, sacrificios, ofrendas de grano e incienso, y trayendo sacrificios de acción de gracias a la casa del SEÑOR.
27 'Pero si no me escucháis en cuanto a santificar el día de reposo, y traéis carga y entráis por las puertas de Jerusalén en día de reposo, entonces prenderé fuego a sus puertas, que consumirá los palacios de Jerusalén, y no se apagará.'"
