Jeremiah 17 a figurative allusion to bringing your own gear to bear

Jeremiah 17 ends in a admonition against carrying burdens on sabbath and bringing burdens in through the gates of Jerusalem.  I attest to you that this is an all time admonition against your own gear to bear that follows your own woes in your heart.
This is an admonition to not work on the sabbath, so it is seemingly to the concrete thinker.
In reality, I think that this prism of encaption is written in a way as to instill a reluctance on the readers part to bringing his own woes to the prayers of his heart.
True we have woes and true the world is not always so accommodating in the eyes of man.
But the fact is that our lives are to be filled with intense interest and intense courage and not a woe of pity upon one's self.
So I suggest that this end verse to Isaiah 17 is really an admonition to the wise and intelligent that he must not cry or complain in the light of the sabbath that is here to benefit our graces and bring us health and happiness.
Thus it is not a weekly sabbath that is in the confines of time and space that is considered in this verse, but that is an allusion to the fact that we are in G-ds grace for only a part of the space that we enjoy life.  This is true and we must enjoy our life with G-ds blessings.
