Jeremiah 35:6-14
6But they saidH559, We will drinkH8354 no wineH3196: for JonadabH3122 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 our fatherH1 commandedH6680 us, sayingH559, Ye shall drinkH8354 no wineH3196, neither ye, nor your sonsH1121 forH5704 everH5769: 7Neither shall ye buildH1129 houseH1004, nor sowH2232 seedH2233, nor plantH5193 vineyardH3754, nor have any: but all your daysH3117 ye shall dwellH3427 in tentsH168; that ye may liveH2421 manyH7227 daysH3117 inH6440 the landH127 where ye be strangersH1481. 8Thus have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 our fatherH1 in all that he hath chargedH6680 us, to drinkH8354 no wineH3196 all our daysH3117, we, our wivesH802, our sonsH1121, nor our daughtersH1323; 9Nor to buildH1129 housesH1004 for us to dwell inH3427: neither have we vineyardH3754, nor fieldH7704, nor seedH2233: 10But we have dwelt inH3427 tentsH168, and have obeyedH8085, and doneH6213 according to all that JonadabH3122 our fatherH1 commandedH6680 us. 11But it came to pass, when NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927 into the landH776, that we saidH559, ComeH935, and let us goH935 to JerusalemH3389 for fearH6440 of the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778, and for fearH6440 of the armyH2428 of the SyriansH758: so we dwellH3427 at JerusalemH3389.
12Then came the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 13Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; GoH1980 and tellH559 the menH376 of JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, Will ye not receiveH3947 instructionH4148 to hearkenH8085 to my wordsH1697? saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 14The wordsH1697 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394, that he commandedH6680 his sonsH1121 not to drinkH8354 wineH3196, are performedH6965; for unto this dayH3117 they drinkH8354 none, but obeyH8085 their father’sH1 commandmentH4687: notwithstanding I have spokenH1696 unto you, rising earlyH7925 and speakingH1696; but ye hearkenedH8085 not unto me.
