The Rechabites’ Obedience

35The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,H1697H3414H3068H3117H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H559 2"Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink."H1980H1004H7397H1696H935H1004H3068H259H3957H3196H8248 3Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites,H3947H2970H1121H3414H1121H2262H251H1121H1004H7397 4and I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the chamber of the officials, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the doorkeeper.H935H1004H3068H3957H1121H2605H1121H3012H376H430H681H3957H8269H4605H3957H4641H1121H7967H8104H5592 5Then I set before the men of the house of the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, "Drink wine!"H5414H6440H1121H1004H7397H1375H4392H3196H3563H559H8354H3196 6But they said, "We will not drink wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, 'You shall not drink wine, you or your sons, forever.H559H8354H3196H3122H1121H7394H1H6680H559H8354H3196H1121H5704H5769 7'And you shall not build a house, and you shall not sow seed, and you shall not plant a vineyard or own one; but in tents you shall dwell all your days, that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.'H1129H1004H2232H2233H5193H3754H3117H3427H168H2421H7227H3117H6440H127H1481 8"And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,H8085H6963H3082H1121H7394H1H6680H8354H3196H3117H802H1121H1323 9nor to build ourselves houses to dwell in; and we do not have vineyard or field or seed.H1129H1004H3427H3754H7704H2233 10"We have only dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and have done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.H3427H168H8085H6213H3122H1H6680 11"But it came about, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against the land, that we said, 'Come and let us go to Jerusalem before the army of the Chaldeans and before the army of the Arameans.' So we have dwelt in Jerusalem."H5019H4428H894H5927H776H559H935H935H3389H6440H2428H3778H6440H2428H758H3427H3389

Judah Rebuked

12Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,H1697H3068H3414H559 13"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem," Will you not receive instruction by listening to My words? "declares the LORD.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1980H559H376H3063H3427H3389H3947H4148H8085H1697H5002H3068 14"The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are observed. So they do not drink [wine] to this day, for they have obeyed their father's command. But I have spoken to you again and again; yet you have not listened to Me.H1697H3082H1121H7394H6680H1121H8354H3196H6965H3117H8354H8085H1H4687H1696H7925H1696H8085 15"Also I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, sending [them] again and again, saying: 'Turn now every man from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to worship them, then you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not inclined your ear or listened to Me.H7971H5650H5030H7925H7971H559H7725H376H7451H1870H3190H4611H3212H310H312H430H5647H3427H127H5414H1H5186H241H8085 16'Indeed, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have observed the command of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to Me.' "'H1121H3082H1121H7394H6965H4687H1H6680H5971H8085 17"Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I am bringing on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them; because I spoke to them but they did not listen, and I have called them but they did not answer.'"H559H3068H430H6635H430H3478H935H3063H3427H3389H7451H1696H1696H8085H7121H6030 18Then Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Because you have obeyed the command of Jonadab your father, kept all his commands, and done according to all that he commanded you;H3414H559H1004H7397H559H3068H6635H430H3478H8085H4687H3082H1H8104H4687H6213H6680 19therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before Me always."
