Jeremiah 35:5-10

5Then I set before the 1men of the house of the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “2Drink wine!”

6But they said, “We will not drink wine, for 3Jonadab the son of 4Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall 5not drink wine, you or your sons, forever.

7You shall not build a house, and you shall not sow seed nor plant a vineyard, nor 6own one; but you shall live in 7tents all your days, so that you may live 8many days 9in the land where you 10live as strangers.’

8And we have 11obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,

9nor to build ourselves houses to live in; and we 12do not have a vineyard, a field, or seed.

10But we have 13lived only in tents, and have obeyed and have done according to all that our father 14Jonadab commanded us.
