The Rekabites

35This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD during the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:H1697H3414H3068H3117H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H559 2"Go to the Recabite family and invite them to come to one of the side rooms of the house of the LORD and give them wine to drink."H1980H1004H7397H1696H935H1004H3068H259H3957H3196H8248 3So I went to get Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the whole family of the Recabites.H3947H2970H1121H3414H1121H2262H251H1121H1004H7397 4I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the room of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah the man of God. It was next to the room of the officials, which was over that of Maaseiah son of Shallum the doorkeeper.H935H1004H3068H3957H1121H2605H1121H3012H376H430H681H3957H8269H4605H3957H4641H1121H7967H8104H5592 5Then I set bowls full of wine and some cups before the men of the Recabite family and said to them, "Drink some wine."H5414H6440H1121H1004H7397H1375H4392H3196H3563H559H8354H3196 6But they replied, "We do not drink wine, because our forefather Jonadab son of Recab gave us this command: 'Neither you nor your descendants must ever drink wine.H559H8354H3196H3122H1121H7394H1H6680H559H8354H3196H1121H5704H5769 7Also you must never build houses, sow seed or plant vineyards; you must never have any of these things, but must always live in tents. Then you will live a long time in the land where you are nomads.'H1129H1004H2232H2233H5193H3754H3117H3427H168H2421H7227H3117H6440H127H1481 8We have obeyed everything our forefather Jonadab son of Recab commanded us. Neither we nor our wives nor our sons and daughters have ever drunk wineH8085H6963H3082H1121H7394H1H6680H8354H3196H3117H802H1121H1323 9or built houses to live in or had vineyards, fields or crops.H1129H1004H3427H3754H7704H2233 10We have lived in tents and have fully obeyed everything our forefather Jonadab commanded us.H3427H168H8085H6213H3122H1H6680 11But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded this land, we said, 'Come, we must go to Jerusalem to escape the Babylonian and Aramean armies.' So we have remained in Jerusalem."H5019H4428H894H5927H776H559H935H935H3389H6440H2428H3778H6440H2428H758H3427H3389 12Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying:H1697H3068H3414H559 13"This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, 'Will you not learn a lesson and obey my words?' declares the LORD.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1980H559H376H3063H3427H3389H3947H4148H8085H1697H5002H3068 14'Jonadab son of Recab ordered his sons not to drink wine and this command has been kept. To this day they do not drink wine, because they obey their forefather's command. But I have spoken to you again and again, yet you have not obeyed me.H1697H3082H1121H7394H6680H1121H8354H3196H6965H3117H8354H8085H1H4687H1696H7925H1696H8085 15Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, "Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your fathers." But you have not paid attention or listened to me.H7971H5650H5030H7925H7971H559H7725H376H7451H1870H3190H4611H3212H310H312H430H5647H3427H127H5414H1H5186H241H8085 16The descendants of Jonadab son of Recab have carried out the command their forefather gave them, but these people have not obeyed me.'H1121H3082H1121H7394H6965H4687H1H6680H5971H8085 17"Therefore, this is what the LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem every disaster I pronounced against them. I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.'"H559H3068H430H6635H430H3478H935H3063H3427H3389H7451H1696H1696H8085H7121H6030 18Then Jeremiah said to the family of the Recabites, "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'You have obeyed the command of your forefather Jonadab and have followed all his instructions and have done everything he ordered.'H3414H559H1004H7397H559H3068H6635H430H3478H8085H4687H3082H1H8104H4687H6213H6680 19Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Jonadab son of Recab will never fail to have a man to serve me.'"H559H3068H6635H430H3478H3122H1121H7394H3772H376H5975H6440H3117
