Nehemiah 13:17

17 And I strove with the free children of Juda, and said to them, What this evil thing which ye do, and profane the sabbath-day?

Nehemiah 13:17 In-Context

15 In those days I saw in Juda treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and carrying sheaves, and loading asses with both wine, and grapes, and figs, and every burden, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the sabbath-day:
16 and I testified in the day of their sale. Also their dwelt in it bringing fish, and selling every merchandise to the children of Juda and in Jerusalem on the sabbath.
17 And I strove with the free children of Juda, and said to them, What this evil thing which ye do, and profane the sabbath-day?
18 Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought upon them and upon us and upon this city all these evils? and do ye bring additional wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath?
19 And it came to pass, when the gates were set up in Jerusalem, before the sabbath, that I spoke, and they shut the gates; and I gave orders that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and I set of my servants at the gates, that none should bring burdens on the sabbath-day.
