Jeremiah 35:12-17

12Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 13“This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Go and say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “1Will you not accept instruction by listening to My words?” declares the Lord. 14“The 2words of Jonadab the son of Rechab have been followed, which he commanded his sons: not to drink wine. And they do not drink wine to this day, for they have obeyed their father’s command. But I have spoken to you 3again and again, yet you have 4not listened to Me. 15Also I have sent to you all My 5servants the prophets, sending them again and again, saying: ‘6Turn now every person from his evil way and amend your deeds, and 7do not follow other gods to worship them. Then you will 8live in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not 9inclined your ear or listened to Me. 16Indeed, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have 10followed the command of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to Me.’”’ 17Therefore this is what the Lord says, the God of armies, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, 11I am bringing on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them; because I 12spoke to them but they did not listen, and I have called them but they did not answer.’”
