The Rechabites’ Example

35[This is] the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:H1697H3414H3068H3117H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H559
2"Go to the house of the Rechabites, speak to them, and bring them to one of the chambers of the temple of the LORD to offer them a drink of wine."H1980H1004H7397H1696H935H1004H3068H259H3957H3196H8248
3So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons— the entire house of the Rechabites—H3947H2970H1121H3414H1121H2262H251H1121H1004H7397
4and I brought them into the temple of the LORD to a chamber [occupied by] the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, who had a chamber near the officials' chamber, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum the doorkeeper.H935H1004H3068H3957H1121H2605H1121H3012H376H430H681H3957H8269H4605H3957H4641H1121H7967H8104H5592
5I set jars filled with wine and some cups before the sons of the house of the Rechabites and said to them, "Drink wine!"H5414H6440H1121H1004H7397H1375H4392H3196H3563H559H8354H3196
6But they replied, "We do not drink wine, for Jonadab, son of our ancestor Rechab, commanded: 'You and your sons must never drink wine.H559H8354H3196H3122H1121H7394H1H6680H559H8354H3196H1121H5704H5769
7You must not build a house or sow seed or plant a vineyard. [Those things] are not for you. Rather, you must live in tents your whole life, so you may live a long time on the soil where you stay as a resident alien.'H1129H1004H2232H2233H5193H3754H3117H3427H168H2421H7227H3117H6440H127H1481
8We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab, son of our ancestor Rechab, in all he commanded us. So we haven't drunk wine our whole life— we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters.H8085H6963H3082H1121H7394H1H6680H8354H3196H3117H802H1121H1323
9We also have not built houses to live in and do not have vineyard, field, or seed.H1129H1004H3427H3754H7704H2233
10But we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done as our ancestor Jonadab commanded us.H3427H168H8085H6213H3122H1H6680
11However, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched into the land, we said: Come, let's go into Jerusalem to get away from the Chaldean and Aramean armies. So we have been living in Jerusalem."H5019H4428H894H5927H776H559H935H935H3389H6440H2428H3778H6440H2428H758H3427H3389
12Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:H1697H3068H3414H559
13"This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Go, say to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem: Will you not accept discipline by listening to My words?"— [this is] the LORD's declaration.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1980H559H376H3063H3427H3389H3947H4148H8085H1697H5002H3068
14"The words of Jonadab, son of Rechab, have been carried out. He commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not drunk to this very day because they have obeyed their ancestor's command. But I have spoken to you time and time again, and you have not obeyed Me!H1697H3082H1121H7394H6680H1121H8354H3196H6965H3117H8354H8085H1H4687H1696H7925H1696H8085
15Time and time again I have sent you all My servants the prophets, proclaiming: Turn, each one from his evil way of life, and correct your actions. Stop following other gods to serve them. Live in the land that I gave you and your ancestors. But you would not pay attention or obey Me.H7971H5650H5030H7925H7971H559H7725H376H7451H1870H3190H4611H3212H310H312H430H5647H3427H127H5414H1H5186H241H8085
16Yes, the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab carried out their ancestor's command he gave them, but these people have not obeyed Me.H1121H3082H1121H7394H6965H4687H1H6680H5971H8085
17Therefore, this is what the LORD, the God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will certainly bring to Judah and to all the residents of Jerusalem all the disaster I have pronounced against them because I have spoken to them, but they have not obeyed, and I have called to them, but they would not answer."H559H3068H430H6635H430H3478H935H3063H3427H3389H7451H1696H1696H8085H7121H6030
18Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites: "This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'Because you have obeyed the command of your ancestor Jonadab and have kept all his commands and have done all that he commanded you,H3414H559H1004H7397H559H3068H6635H430H3478H8085H4687H3082H1H8104H4687H6213H6680
19this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Jonadab son of Rechab will never fail to have a man to always stand before Me.'"H559H3068H6635H430H3478H3122H1121H7394H3772H376H5975H6440H3117
