 18Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath.
 19{i}And it came to pass, that when it began to be dark in the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut; and I commanded that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath.
