Allora io li rimproverai e dissi loro: "Perch passate la notte davanti alle mura? Se lo fate unaltra volta, metter le mani su di voi". Da quel momento non vennero pi in giorno di sabato.
Ma io protestai loro che nol facessero più, e dissi loro: Perchè state voi la notte dirincontro alle mura? Se voi tornate a farlo, io vi metterò la mano addosso. Da quel tempo innanzi non vennero più nel giorno del sabato.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then I testified against them,.... Against their continuance there, and threatened them, and called heaven and earth to witness what he would do to them, if they did not depart:
why lodge ye about the wall? of the city, waiting an opportunity to get in, and tempting the Jews to come out and buy their ware:
if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you; beat them, or slay them, at least imprison them:
from that time forth came they no more on the sabbath; finding there was no likelihood of getting into the city, and that they were liable to be taken up and punished.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The lodging of the merchants with their merchandise just outside Jerusalem during the Sabbath, marked their impatience for the moment when they might bring their wares in. This was thought by Nehemiah to be unseemly, and to have an irreligious tendency.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 21. I will lay hands on you — I will imprison every man of you. This had the desired effect; they came no more.
