10“I, the LORD, search the heart,
         I test the mind,
         Even to give to each man according to his ways,
         According to the results of his deeds.

11“As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,
         So is he who makes a fortune, but unjustly;
         In the midst of his days it will forsake him,
         And in the end he will be a fool.”

12A glorious throne on high from the beginning
         Is the place of our sanctuary.

13O LORD, the hope of Israel,
         All who forsake You will be put to shame.
         Those who turn away on earth will be written down,
         Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even the LORD.

14Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed;
         Save me and I will be saved,
         For You are my praise.

15Look, they keep saying to me,
         “Where is the word of the LORD?
         Let it come now!”

16But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,
         Nor have I longed for the woeful day;
         You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips
         Was in Your presence.

17Do not be a terror to me;
         You are my refuge in the day of disaster.

18Let those who persecute me be put to shame, but as for me, let me not be put to shame;
         Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.
         Bring on them a day of disaster,
         And crush them with twofold destruction!

The Sabbath Must Be Kept

      19Thus the LORD said to me, “Go and stand in the public gate, through which the kings of Judah come in and go out, as well as in all the gates of Jerusalem; 20and say to them, ‘Listen to the word of the LORD, kings of Judah, and all Judah and all inhabitants of Jerusalem who come in through these gates: 21‘Thus says the LORD, “Take heed for yourselves, and do not carry any load on the sabbath day or bring anything in through the gates of Jerusalem. 22“You shall not bring a load out of your houses on the sabbath day nor do any work, but keep the sabbath day holy, as I commanded your forefathers. 23“Yet they did not listen or incline their ears, but stiffened their necks in order not to listen or take correction.

      24“But it will come about, if you listen attentively to Me,” declares the LORD, “to bring no load in through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to keep the sabbath day holy by doing no work on it, 25then there will come in through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever. 26“They will come in from the cities of Judah and from the environs of Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, grain offerings and incense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to the house of the LORD. 27“But if you do not listen to Me to keep the sabbath day holy by not carrying a load and coming in through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem and not be quenched.”’”
