“
Go to the house of the Rechabites, speak to them, and bring them to
one
of
the
chambers
of
the house of the LORD
to
offer
them a
drink
of
wine. ”

the chambers,

I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons —
the entire
house of the Rechabites —

I took Jaazaniah the
son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers ,
and all his sons ,
and
the whole
house of the Rechabites ;
and I brought them into the house of the
LORD
, to
a
chamber occupied
by
the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a
man of God .
This
room
was near
the chamber of the officials
, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum the doorkeeper
.
and I brought them into the house of Yahweh
, into
the
chamber of
the sons of Hanan the
son of Igdaliah, the
man of God ,
which

Drink some
wine. ”

“

not
drink wine ,”
they
replied,
“
for our
forefather
Jonadab son of Rechab commanded us, ‘
Neither you nor your descendants
are
ever
to
drink
wine.
But
they
said,
We will
drink no
wine ;
for Jonadab the
son of Rechab ,
our
father,
commanded us, saying,
You
shall
drink
no
wine,
neither you ,
nor your sons,
forever:
Nor
are
you ever
to
build a
house or
sow seed or
plant a
vineyard .
Those
things
are
not
for
you.
Instead
, you must
live
in tents all
your
lives,
so
that you may live a
long
time
in the land where
you wander
. ’
neither
shall
you build house ,
nor
sow seed ,
nor
plant vineyard, nor
have
any;
but
all
your
days
you shall
dwell
in tents ;
that you may live many
days
in the land in
which
you sojourn
.
And
we have obeyed the voice of our
forefather
Jonadab son of Rechab in all he commanded
us .
So
we
have
not
drunk
wine all our lives—neither
we nor
our wives nor
our sons and
daughters .
We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the
son of Rechab ,
our
father,
in all that
he charged
us ,
to
drink
no
wine all our days,
we ,
our wives ,
our sons ,
or
our
daughters ;
Nor have
we
built
houses in
which
to live,
and
we
have not
owned
any
vineyards
or
fields
or
crops.
nor to
build
houses for
us
to dwell
in;
neither
have we
vineyard,
nor
field,
nor
seed:
But we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done exactly
as
our
forefather
Jonadab commanded us.
but we have lived in tents ,
and have obeyed ,
and done according
to
all
that
Jonadab our
father
commanded us.
So
when Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon marched
into the land, we said :
‘
Come, let us go into
Jerusalem
to escape
the armies
of the Chaldeans and the Arameans.’
So we have
remained
in
Jerusalem. ”
But
it
happened,
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 the word of the
LORD
came
to Jeremiah :
Then came
the word of Yahweh
to Jeremiah ,
saying,
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the God of Israel ,
says
: Go and tell the men of Judah and the residents
of Jerusalem :
‘
Will you not accept
discipline
and
obey
My words? ’
declares
the
LORD
.
Thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts, the God of Israel: Go ,
and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem ,
Will you not receive
instruction
to
listen
to
my words? says
Yahweh
.
The words of Jonadab son of Rechab have
been
carried
out.
He commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they
have
not
drunk
it
to this very
day because
they have
obeyed
the
command
of
their forefather.
But I have spoken to you again
and
again
, and you have not obeyed
Me !
The words of Jonadab the
son of Rechab ,
that
he commanded his sons ,
not to drink wine, are
performed;
and to this day they drink
none,
for
they
obey
their father's
commandment:
but I have spoken to you, rising
up
early
and speaking;
and
you have not listened
to
me .
Again
and
again
I have sent you all My servants the prophets, proclaiming:
‘Turn
now
, each
of
you
, from your
wicked
ways
, and correct
your actions.
Do
not
go after other gods to serve them .
Live
in the land that
I have given to you and your fathers .’
But you have not inclined your ear or
listened to Me.
I have sent also
to
you all my servants the prophets, rising
up
early
and
sending
them
, saying
, Return
you
now
every
man
from his
evil
way
, and amend
your doings,
and
don't
go after other gods to serve them ,
and
you
shall
dwell
in the land which
I have given to you and to
your fathers :
but you have not inclined your ear ,
nor
listened to me.
Yes,
the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab carried
out
the command
their forefather
gave
them, but these
people have
not listened to Me .
Because
the sons of Jonadab the
son of Rechab have
performed
the commandment
of
their father
which
he
commanded
them, but this
people has
not listened to me ;
Therefore this
is
what
the LORD
God of Hosts, the God of Israel ,
says
: ‘
Behold, I will bring to
Judah and to
all the residents
of Jerusalem all the disaster
I have pronounced against them ,
because I have spoken to them but they have not obeyed,
and I have called to them but they have not answered. ’”
therefore thus
says
Yahweh,
the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on
Judah and on
all the inhabitants
of Jerusalem all the evil
that
I have pronounced against them ;
because I have spoken to them ,
but they have not heard;
and I have called to them ,
but they have not answered.
Then
Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites :
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the God of Israel ,
says
: ‘
Because you have obeyed the command
of your
forefather
Jonadab and have
kept all his commandments
and have
done all that he charged
you to
do,
Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites ,
Thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the commandment
of Jonadab your
father,
and kept all his precepts,
and done according
to
all that he commanded
you ;
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the God of Israel ,
says
: Jonadab son of Rechab will
never
fail
to
have
a man to stand before Me. ’”
therefore
thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the
son of Rechab shall
not
want
a man to stand before me forever
.
