Text: Jeremiah 17:14
OT Text Referred to: Nehemiah 13:15
Subject: Sabbath violation as spiritual sickness requiring divine healing
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Echo
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: The connection between these passages is contextual rather than verbal: Jeremiah 17:14 ("Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed") appears within the same chapter where Jeremiah delivers the LORD's Sabbath warning at the gates of Jerusalem (17:19-27), warning that carrying loads on the Sabbath will bring destruction. Nehemiah 13:15 describes the very violation Jeremiah warned against — people treading winepresses and carrying loads into Jerusalem on the Sabbath. The link suggests that the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge identified Nehemiah's situation as the realized consequence of the spiritual condition Jeremiah's broader chapter addresses: a people whose hearts need divine healing because they persist in covenant disobedience.
