Jeremiah

Warnings about Jerusalem's destruction due to unfaithfulness, with promises of a new covenant.

Chapter 17

KJV - Jeremiah 17:27

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.

But if you don't listen to me to respect the rest day (Sabbath), and also don't carry heavy loads into the city gates on that day; then I will start a fire at those gates, and it will burn the important buildings in Jerusalem, and the fire won't be put out.
