Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the word that came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah,
in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah ,
saying
:
“
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. ”
`
Go unto
the house of the Rechabites, and
thou
hast
spoken
with
them, and brought
them into
the house of Jehovah,
unto
one
of
the chambers,
and
caused
them to
drink wine. '
So
I took
Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the
son of Habazziniah, and his brothers
and all his sons —
the entire
house of the Rechabites —
And
I take
Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brethren,
and all his sons ,
and
all
the 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 bring
them into the house of Jehovah
, unto
the
chamber of
the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God ,
that
`is'
near to
the chamber of the princes
, that
`is'
above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum ,
keeper
of
the threshold;
Then
I
set
pitchers
full
of
wine
and some
cups
before the men
of the house of the Rechabites, and I said
to
them, “
Drink some
wine. ”
and I
put
before the sons
of the house of the Rechabites goblets
full
of
wine
, and cups,
and
I say
unto
them, Drink ye
wine.
“
We do not drink wine ,”
they
replied,
“
for our
forefather
Jonadab son of Rechab commanded
us, ‘Neither
you
nor
your
descendants
are
ever
to
drink wine .
And
they
say,
`
We do not drink wine :
for Jonadab son of Rechab ,
our
father,
charged
us, saying,
Ye
do
not
drink wine ,
ye
and
your
sons
--
unto
the
age;
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
. ’
and
a house ye
do
not
build,
and
seed ye
do
not
sow,
and
a vineyard ye
do
not plant
, nor
have
ye
any;
for
in tents do
ye
dwell
all your days
, that ye
may live many
days
on
the face
of
the
ground
whither
ye
are
sojourning
.
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 .
`
And we hearken
to
the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab ,
our
father,
to
all that
he commanded us ,
not to
drink
wine all our days,
we ,
our wives ,
our sons ,
and 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
our
dwelling;
and
vineyard
, and field,
and
seed,
we have none;
But
we have
lived
in tents and have
obeyed
and done
exactly
as
our
forefather
Jonadab commanded us .
and
we dwell
in tents ,
and we
hearken,
and we
do
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. ”
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
the
coming
up
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon unto
the land, that
we say,
Come, and
we
enter
Jerusalem ,
because
of
the force
of the Chaldeans ,
and because
of
the force
of
Aram
--
and
we dwell
in Jerusalem. '
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah:
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
Jeremiah ,
saying
: `Thus
said
Jehovah
of
Hosts,
God
of
Israel:
“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
.
`
Go ,
and thou
hast
said
to
the men of Judah ,
and to
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem: Do
ye
not receive
instruction?
--
to
hearken
unto
My words --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
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 !
Performed
have
been
the words of Jonadab son of Rechab ,
when
he commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not drunk unto
this day ,
for
they have obeyed the command of their father;
and
I --
I
have spoken unto
you ,
rising
early
and speaking
, and ye
have not hearkened
unto
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.
And I send
unto
you all My servants the prophets, rising
early
and
sending,
saying
: Turn back
, I
pray
you, each
from his
evil
way
, and amend
your doings,
yea,
ye
do not walk
after other gods ,
to serve them ,
and
dwell
ye
on
the ground
that I have given to you and to
your fathers ;
and
ye
have not inclined your ear ,
nor
hearkened
unto
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 son of Rechab have
performed
the command of
their father,
that
he
commanded
them, and
this
people have not hearkened
unto
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
said
Jehovah,
God of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo
, I am
bringing
in
unto
Judah ,
and unto
all inhabitants
of Jerusalem ,
all the evil
that
I have spoken
against them, because I have spoken unto
them ,
and
they have not hearkened
, yea,
I call
to them ,
and
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,
And
to the house of the Rechabites said
Jeremiah
: `Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, Because that
ye
have hearkened
unto
the command of Jonadab your
father,
and ye
observe
all his commands,
and do
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
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, Of
Jonadab son of Rechab one
standing
before me is
not
cut
off
all
the
days
. '
