JER-35:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the
days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
JER-35:2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto
them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the
chambers, and give them wine to drink.
JER-35:3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of
Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole
house of the Rechabites;
JER-35:4 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the
chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God,
which [was] by the chamber of the princes, which [was] above the
chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
JER-35:5 And I set before the sons of the house of the
Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them,
Drink ye wine.
JER-35:6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the
son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no
wine, [neither ye], nor your sons for ever:
JER-35:7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant
vineyard, nor have [any]: but all your days ye shall dwell in
tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye [be]
strangers.
JER-35:8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of
Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no
wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
JER-35:9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we
vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
JER-35:10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done
according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
JER-35:11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go
to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear
of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
JER-35:12 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
JER-35:13 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go
and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will
ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the
LORD.
JER-35:14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he
commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto
this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment:
notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and
speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
JER-35:15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets,
rising up early and sending [them], saying, Return ye now every
man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after
other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I
have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined
your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
JER-35:16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have
performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded
them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:
JER-35:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of
Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the
inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced
against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not
heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
JER-35:18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have
obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his
precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
JER-35:19 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand
before me for ever.
