The word
which came unto Jeremiah
from the LORD
in the days
of Jehoiakim
the son
of Josiah
king
of Judah,
saying,
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.
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;
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:

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.
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:
say

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.
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;
Iōnadab
Ιωναδαβ
iōnadab
Nor to build
houses
for us to dwell in:
neither have we vineyard,
nor field,
nor seed:
But we have dwelt in
tents,
and have obeyed,
and done
according to all that Jonadab
our father
commanded
us.
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.

Then came the word
of the LORD
unto Jeremiah,
saying,
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.
say
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.

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.

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:
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.
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:
