The word
which
came
to Jeremiah
from the LORD
in the days
of Jehoiakim
the son
of Josiah,
king
of Judah,
saying,
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."
3
Then I took
Jaazaniah
the
son
of Jeremiah,
son
of Habazziniah,
and his brothers
and all
his sons
and the whole
house
of the Rechabites,
4
and 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.
5
Then I set
before
the men
of the house
of the Rechabites
pitchers
full
of wine
and cups;
and I said
to them, "Drink
wine!"
6
But 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.
7
'
You sh
all
not build
a house,
and you sh
all
not sow
seed
and you sh
all
not plant
a vineyard
or own
one; but in tents
you sh
all
dwell
all
your
days
,
that you may live
many
days
in the land
where
you sojourn.'
8
"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,
9
nor
to build
ourselves houses
to dwell
in; and we do not have
vineyard
or field
or seed.
10
"We have only dwelt
in tents,
and have obeyed
and have done
according to all
that Jonadab
our father
commanded
us.
11
"But when Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon
came
up against
the land,
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."
12
Then the word
of the LORD
came
to Jeremiah,
saying,
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
.
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.
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 will 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.
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.'"'
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 c
all
ed
them but they did not answer.'"
18
Then 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;
19
therefore
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."'"
