They will come bringing offerings to the temple of the LORD: burnt offerings, sacrifices, grain offerings, and incense along with their thank offerings. But you must obey me and set the Sabbath day apart to me. You must not carry any loads in through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. If you disobey, I will set the gates of Jerusalem on fire. It will burn down all the fortified dwellings in Jerusalem and no one will be able to put it out.'"

With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people made in God's image.
  
  
• James 3:9-12: With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people made in God's image. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing.
