The Example of the Rechabites

35This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord during the reign of Josiah's son Jehoiakim, king of Judah:H1697H3414H3068H3117H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H559
2"Go to the house of the Rechabites and speak to them. Bring them into the LORD's temple, to one of the offices, and offer them wine to drink.H1980H1004H7397H1696H935H1004H3068H259H3957H3196H8248
3So I took Jeremiah's son Jaazaniah (a descendant of Habazziniah), his brothers, all his sons, and the whole family of the Rechabites.H3947H2970H1121H3414H1121H2262H251H1121H1004H7397
4I brought them to the LORD's temple to the office of the descendants of Igdaliah's son Hanan, the man of God, which was next to the office of the officials, and which was above the office of Shallum's son Maaseiah, the keeper of the threshold.3H935H1004H3068H3957H1121H2605H1121H3012H376H430H681H3957H8269H4605H3957H4641H1121H7967H8104H5592
5I put containers full of wine and cups in front of the members of the Rechabite clan and told them, "Drink the wine!"H5414H6440H1121H1004H7397H1375H4392H3196H3563H559H8354H3196
6But they said, "We won't drink wine, because our ancestor, Rechab's son Jonadab commanded us: 'You and your descendants are never to drink wine!H559H8354H3196H3122H1121H7394H1H6680H559H8354H3196H1121H5704H5769
7You aren't to build houses, you aren't to sow seeds, you aren't to plant vineyards, or own them. Instead, you are to live in tents all your lives, so you will enjoy a long life in the land where you reside.'H1129H1004H2232H2233H5193H3754H3117H3427H168H2421H7227H3117H6440H127H1481
8We have obeyed everything that our ancestor, Rechab's son Jonadab, commanded us. So we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters have drunk no wine all our lives,H8085H6963H3082H1121H7394H1H6680H8354H3196H3117H802H1121H1323
9and have built no houses to live in. We don't have vineyards, fields, or seed.H1129H1004H3427H3754H7704H2233
10We have lived in tents. We have obeyed and have done everything that our ancestor Jonadab commanded us.H3427H168H8085H6213H3122H1H6680
11Now when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against the land, we said, 'Come on! Let's go to Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans and the army of Aram. And now we're living in Jerusalem.'"35H5019H4428H894H5927H776H559H935H935H3389H6440H2428H3778H6440H2428H758H3427H3389
12The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:H1697H3068H3414H559
13"This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel says: 'Go and say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, "Will you not accept correction by listening to what I say? declares the Lord.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1980H559H376H3063H3427H3389H3947H4148H8085H1697H5002H3068
14"But what Rechab's son Jonadab commanded his sons about not drinking wine is observed, and they haven't drunk wine until this day. Indeed, they obey the commands of their ancestor. But I've spoken to you again and again, and you haven't obeyed me.H1697H3082H1121H7394H6680H1121H8354H3196H6965H3117H8354H8085H1H4687H1696H7925H1696H8085
15I've sent you all my servants, the prophets, sending them again and again. I've said, 'Each of you turn from his evil way and make your deeds right. Don't follow other gods to serve them. Then you will remain in the land that I gave to you and to your ancestors. But you haven't paid attention and you haven't obeyed me.H7971H5650H5030H7925H7971H559H7725H376H7451H1870H3190H4611H3212H310H312H430H5647H3427H127H5414H1H5186H241H8085
16Indeed the descendants of Rechab's son Jonadab have carried out the command of their ancestor that he gave them, but this people has not obeyed me.H1121H3082H1121H7394H6965H4687H1H6680H5971H8085
17Therefore, this is what the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel says: 'Look, I'm bringing on Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem all the disaster that I pronounced against them, because I spoke to them, but they didn't listen, and I called out to them, but they didn't answer.'"H559H3068H430H6635H430H3478H935H3063H3427H3389H7451H1696H1696H8085H7121H6030
18Then Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, "This is what the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel says: 'Because you obeyed the commandment of your ancestor Jonadab, have observed all his commandments, and have done everything that he commanded you,'H3414H559H1004H7397H559H3068H6635H430H3478H8085H4687H3082H1H8104H4687H6213H6680
19therefore, this is what the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel says: 'Rechab's son Jonadab won't lack a descendant who serves me always."'"H559H3068H6635H430H3478H3122H1121H7394H3772H376H5975H6440H3117
