Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 035

 

035:001The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

 

035:002Go 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.

 

035:003Then 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;

 

035:004And 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:

 

035:005And 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.

 

035:006But 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:

 

035:007Neither 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.

 

035:008Thus 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;

 

035:009Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we
vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

 

035:010But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done
according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

 

035:011But 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.

 

035:012Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

 

035:013Thus 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.

 

035:014The 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.

 

035:015I 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.

 

035:016Because 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:

 

035:017Therefore 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.

 

035:018And 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:

 

035:019Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before
me for ever.
