1 # The word <01697> which came unto Jeremiah <03414> from the LORD <03068> in the days <03117> of Jehoiakim <03079> the son <01121> of Josiah <02977> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Go <01980> (8800) unto the house <01004> of the Rechabites <07397>, and speak <01696> (8765) unto them, and bring <0935> (8689) them into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, into one <0259> of the chambers <03957>, and give them wine <03196> to drink <08248> (8689).
3 Then I took <03947> (8799) Jaazaniah <02970> the son <01121> of Jeremiah <03414>, the son <01121> of Habaziniah <02262>, and his brethren <0251>, and all his sons <01121>, and the whole house <01004> of the Rechabites <07397>;
4 And I brought <0935> (8686) them into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, into the chamber <03957> of the sons <01121> of Hanan <02605>, the son <01121> of Igdaliah <03012>, a man <0376> of God <0430>, which was by <0681> the chamber <03957> of the princes <08269>, which was above <04605> the chamber <03957> of Maaseiah <04641> the son <01121> of Shallum <07967>, the keeper <08104> (8802) of the door <05592>:
5 And I set <05414> (8799) before <06440> the sons <01121> of the house <01004> of the Rechabites <07397> pots <01375> full <04392> of wine <03196>, and cups <03563>, and I said <0559> (8799) unto them, Drink <08354> (8798) ye wine <03196>.
6 But they said <0559> (8799), We will drink <08354> (8799) no wine <03196>: for Jonadab <03122> the son <01121> of Rechab <07394> our father <01> commanded <06680> (8765) us, saying <0559> (8800), Ye shall drink <08354> (8799) no wine <03196>, neither ye, nor your sons <01121> for <05704> ever <05769>:
7 Neither shall ye build <01129> (8799) house <01004>, nor sow <02232> (8799) seed <02233>, nor plant <05193> (8799) vineyard <03754>, nor have any: but all your days <03117> ye shall dwell <03427> (8799) in tents <0168>; that ye may live <02421> (8799) many <07227> days <03117> in <06440> the land <0127> where ye be strangers <01481> (8802).
8 Thus have we obeyed <08085> (8799) the voice <06963> of Jonadab <03082> the son <01121> of Rechab <07394> our father <01> in all that he hath charged <06680> (8765) us, to drink <08354> (8800) no wine <03196> all our days <03117>, we, our wives <0802>, our sons <01121>, nor our daughters <01323>;
9 Nor to build <01129> (8800) houses <01004> for us to dwell in <03427> (8800): neither have we vineyard <03754>, nor field <07704>, nor seed <02233>:
10 But we have dwelt in <03427> (8799) tents <0168>, and have obeyed <08085> (8799), and done <06213> (8799) according to all that Jonadab <03122> our father <01> commanded <06680> (8765) us.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> came up <05927> (8800) into the land <0776>, that we said <0559> (8799), Come <0935> (8798), and let us go <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389> for fear <06440> of the army <02428> of the Chaldeans <03778>, and for fear <06440> of the army <02428> of the Syrians <0758> : so we dwell <03427> (8799) at Jerusalem <03389>.
12 # Then came the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto Jeremiah <03414>, saying <0559> (8800),
13 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Go <01980> (8800) and tell <0559> (8804) the men <0376> of Judah <03063> and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>, Will ye not receive <03947> (8799) instruction <04148> to hearken <08085> (8800) to my words <01697> ? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
14 The words <01697> of Jonadab <03082> the son <01121> of Rechab <07394>, that he commanded <06680> (8765) his sons <01121> not to drink <08354> (8800) wine <03196>, are performed <06965> (8717); for unto this day <03117> they drink <08354> (8804) none, but obey <08085> (8804) their father's <01> commandment <04687>: notwithstanding I have spoken <01696> (8765) unto you, rising early <07925> (8687) and speaking <01696> (8763); but ye hearkened <08085> (8804) not unto me.
15 I have sent <07971> (8799) also unto you all my servants <05650> the prophets <05030>, rising up early <07925> (8687) and sending <07971> (8800) them, saying <0559> (8800), Return <07725> (8798) ye now every man <0376> from his evil <07451> way <01870>, and amend <03190> (8685) your doings <04611>, and go <03212> (8799) not after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to serve <05647> (8800) them, and ye shall dwell in <03427> (8798) the land <0127> which I have given <05414> (8804) to you and to your fathers <01>: but ye have not inclined <05186> (8689) your ear <0241>, nor hearkened <08085> (8804) unto me.
16 Because the sons <01121> of Jonadab <03082> the son <01121> of Rechab <07394> have performed <06965> (8689) the commandment <04687> of their father <01>, which he commanded <06680> (8765) them; but this people <05971> hath not hearkened <08085> (8804) unto me:
17 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) upon Judah <03063> and upon all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> all the evil <07451> that I have pronounced <01696> (8765) against them: because I have spoken <01696> (8765) unto them, but they have not heard <08085> (8804); and I have called <07121> (8799) unto them, but they have not answered <06030> (8804) .
18 And Jeremiah <03414> said <0559> (8804) unto the house <01004> of the Rechabites <07397>, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Because ye have obeyed <08085> (8804) the commandment <04687> of Jonadab <03082> your father <01>, and kept <08104> (8799) all his precepts <04687>, and done <06213> (8799) according unto all that he hath commanded <06680> (8765) you:
19 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478> ; Jonadab <03122> the son <01121> of Rechab <07394> shall not want <03772> (8735) a man <0376> to stand <05975> (8802) before <06440> me for ever <03117>.
