Isaiah 58:13-1413"If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, Fromdoing your pleasure on My holy day, Andcall the Sabbath a delight, Theholy day of the LORD honorable, Andshall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Norfinding your own pleasure, Norspeaking your own words,14Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; AndI will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, Andfeed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. Themouth of the LORD has spoken."Isaiah 56:2,4-7“2Blessed is the man who does this, Andthe son of man who lays hold on it; Whokeeps from defiling the Sabbath, Andkeeps his hand from doing any evil."4For thus says the LORD: "To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, Andchoose what pleases Me, Andhold fast My covenant,5Even to them I will give in My house And within My walls a place and a name Better than that of sons and daughters; Iwill give them an everlasting name That shall not be cut off.6"Also the sons of the foreigner Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, Andto love the name of the LORD, to be His servants --Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, Andholds fast My covenant --7Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, Andmake them joyful in My house of prayer. Theirburnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; ForMy house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."

Hebrews 4:3-11“3For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, 'Theyshall not enter My rest,'“ althoughthe works were finished from the foundation of the world.4For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works";5and again in this place: "They shall not enter My rest."6Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,7again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today,“ aftersuch a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Donot harden your hearts."8For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.9There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.10For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.11Letus therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.”
