Jeremiah 35:6-14
6But they saidH559, “We will not drinkH8354 wineH3196, for 1JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of 2RechabH7394, our fatherH1, commandedH6680 us, sayingH559, ‘You shall 3not drinkH8354 wineH3196, you or your sonsH1121, foreverH5704H5769. 7You shall not buildH1129 a houseH1004, and you shall not sowH2232 seedH2233 and you shall not plantH5193 a vineyardH3754 or ownH1961 one; but in 4tentsH168 you shall dwellH3427 allH3605 your daysH3117, that you may liveH2421 5manyH7227 daysH3117 in the landH127 whereH834H8033 you 6sojournH1481.’ 8We have 7obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394, our fatherH1, in allH3605 that he commandedH6680 us, not to drinkH8354 wineH3196 allH3605 our daysH3117, we, our wivesH802, our sonsH1121 or our daughtersH1323, 9norH1115 to buildH1129 ourselves housesH1004 to dwellH3427 in; and we 8do not haveH1961 vineyardH3754 or fieldH7704 or seedH2233. 10We have only 9dweltH3427 in tentsH168, and have obeyedH8085 and have doneH6213 according to allH3605 that 10JonadabH3082 our fatherH1 commandedH6680 us. 11But when 11NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH5927 up againstH413 the landH776, we saidH559, ‘ComeH935 and let us 12goH935 to JerusalemH3389 beforeH4480H6440 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 and beforeH4480H6440 the armyH2428 of the ArameansH758.’ So we have dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389.”
12Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 13“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘GoH1980 and sayH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, “13Will you not receiveH3947 instructionH4148 by listeningH8085 to My wordsH1697?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 14“The 14wordsH1697 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394, whichH834 he commandedH6680 his sonsH1121 not to drinkH8354 wineH3196, are observedH6965. So they do not drinkH8354 wine to thisH2088 dayH3117, for they have obeyedH8085 their father’sH1 commandH4687. But I have spokenH1696 to you 1516againH7925 and againH1696; yet you have 17not listenedH8085 to Me.
