Leviticus 23:27

²⁵ You must not do any regular work, but you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”

²⁶ Again the LORD said to Moses,

“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves, and present an offering made by fire to the LORD.

²⁸ On this day you are not to do any work, for it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.

²⁹ If anyone does not humble himself on this day, he must be cut off from his people.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
