treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all [

burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and
I testified [
against them] in the day wherein they sold victuals. ... And
I commanded the Levites that they should
cleanse themselves, and [

and] keep the gates, to
sanctify the sabbath day.
Remember me, O my God, [
concerning] this also, and
spare me according to the
greatness of thy mercy.

shall not be quenched.
