"Did 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." — Nehemiah 13:18 (ASV)
Did not your fathers thus
Profane the sabbath in like manner:
and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon our city ?
suffered them to be carried captive into a strange land, and their city destroyed for their sins, and for this of sabbath breaking among the rest, see (Jeremiah 17:21–27) (Ezekiel 20:16Ezekiel 20:21Ezekiel 20:24) ,
yet you bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath ;
additional judgments to those that had been already upon them for the same evil with others.
