24_JER_35_01 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of Judah, saying,

24_JER_35_02 Go 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.

24_JER_35_03 Then 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;

24_JER_35_04 And 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:

24_JER_35_05 And 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.

24_JER_35_06 But 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:

24_JER_35_07 Neither 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.

24_JER_35_08 Thus 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;

24_JER_35_09 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

24_JER_35_10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father
commanded us.

24_JER_35_11 But 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.

24_JER_35_12 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

24_JER_35_13 Thus 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.

24_JER_35_14 The 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.

24_JER_35_15 I 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.

24_JER_35_16 Because 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:

24_JER_35_17 Therefore 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.

24_JER_35_18 And 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:

24_JER_35_19 Therefore 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.
