But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 27 is found in chapter 17 of Jeremiah. Sabbath observance becomes a concrete test of covenant faithfulness. Jeremiah must proclaim the message at the gates of Jerusalem because even commercial activity expresses spiritual priorities. The promise of prosperity if they obey contrasts with the fire of judgment if they continue ignoring the command.

Werdet ihr mich aber nicht hören, daß ihr den Sabbattag heiliget und keine Last tragt durch die Tore zu Jerusalem ein am Sabbattage, so will ich ein Feuer unter ihren Toren anzünden, das die Häuser zu Jerusalem verzehren und nicht gelöscht werden soll.
Mas si no me oyereis para santificar el día del sábado, y para no traer carga ni meterla por las puertas de Jerusalem en día de sábado, yo haré encender fuego en sus puertas, y consumirá los palacios de Jerusalem, y no se apagará.
Pero si no me escuchan para santificar el día de reposo y dejar de llevar cargas por las puertas de Jerusalén en el día de reposo, prenderé fuego a sus puertas; consumirá los palacios de Jerusalén y no se apagará”».
Mais si vous n'écoutez pas quand je vous ordonne De sanctifier le jour du sabbat, De ne porter aucun fardeau, De ne point en introduire par les portes de Jérusalem le jour du sabbat, Alors j'allumerai un feu aux portes de la ville, Et il dévorera les palais de Jérusalem et ne s'éteindra point.
Ma, se non mi ascoltate, per santificare il giorno del sabato, e per non portare alcun carico, e per non entrar con esso per le porte di Gerusalemme, nel giorno del sabato, io accenderò un fuoco nelle sue porte, il quale consumerà i palazzi di Gerusalemme, e non si spegnerà
Mas, se não me ouvirdes, para santificardes o dia de sábado, e para não trazerdes carga alguma, quando entrardes pelas portas de Jerusalém no dia de sábado, então acenderei fogo nas suas portas, o qual consumirá os palácios de Jerusalém, e não se apagará.
你們若不聽從我,不以安息日為聖日,仍在安息日挑擔子進入 耶路撒冷 的各城門,我必在城門中點火;這火必燒燬 耶路撒冷 的宮殿,不會熄滅。」
