The wordH1697 whichH834 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068 in the daysH3117 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 saying,H559
2
GoH1980 to the houseH1004 of the Rechabites,H7397 and speakH1696 to them, and bringH935 them into the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 intoH413 oneH259 of the chambers,H3957 and give them wineH3196 to drink.H8248
3
Then I tookH3947 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of Jeremiah,H3414 the sonH1121 of Habaziniah,H2262 and his brothers,H251 and allH3605 his sons,H1121 and the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of the Rechabites;H7397
4
And I broughtH935 them into the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 intoH413 the chamberH3957 of the sonsH1121 of Hanan,H2605 the sonH1121 of Igdaliah,H3012 a manH376 of God,H430 whichH834 was by the chamberH3957 of the princes,H8269 whichH834 was aboveH4605 the chamberH3957 of MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of Shallum,H7967 the keeperH8104 of the door:H5592
5
And I setH5414 beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of the houseH1004 of the RechabitesH7397 potsH1375 fullH4392 of wine,H3196 and cups,H3563 and I saidH559 to them, DrinkH8354 you wine.H3196
6
But they said,H559 We will drinkH8354 noH3808 wine:H3196 for JonadabH3122 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 our fatherH1 commandedH6680 us, saying,H559 You shall drinkH8354 noH3808 wine,H3196 neither you, nor your sonsH1121 for ever:H5769
7
NeitherH3808 shall you buildH1129 house,H1004 norH3808 sowH2232 seed,H2233 norH3808 plantH5193 vineyard,H3754 norH3808 have any: but allH3605 your daysH3117 you shall dwellH3427 in tents;H168 that you may liveH2421 manyH7227 daysH3117 in the landH127 whereH834 H8033 you be strangers.H1481
8
Thus have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 our fatherH1 in allH3605 that he has chargedH6680 us, to drinkH8354 noH1115 wineH3196 allH3605 our days,H3117 we, our wives,H802 our sons,H1121 nor our daughters;H1323
9
NorH1115 to buildH1129 housesH1004 for us to dwellH3427 in: neitherH3808 haveH1961 we vineyard,H3754 nor field,H7704 nor seed:H2233
10
But we have dwelledH3427 in tents,H168 and have obeyed,H8085 and doneH6213 according to allH3605 that JonadabH3122 our fatherH1 commandedH6680 us.
11
But it cameH1961 to pass, when NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH5927 up intoH413 the land,H776 that we said,H559 Come,H935 and let us goH935 to JerusalemH3389 for fearH6440 of the armyH2428 of the Chaldeans,H3778 and for fearH6440 of the armyH2428 of the Syrians:H758 so we dwellH3427 at Jerusalem.H3389
12
Then cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to Jeremiah,H3414 saying,H559
13
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel;H3478 GoH1980 and tellH559 the menH376 of JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of Jerusalem,H3389 Will you not receiveH3947 instructionH4148 to listenH8085 to my words?H1697 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
14
The wordsH1697 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of Rechab,H7394 that he commandedH6680 his sonsH1121 not to drinkH8354 wine,H3196 are performed;H6965 for to thisH2088 dayH3117 they drinkH8354 none,H3808 but obeyH8085 their father'sH1 commandment:H4687 notwithstanding I have spokenH1696 to you, risingH7925 earlyH7925 and speaking;H1696 but you listenedH8085 not to me.
15
I have sentH7971 also to you allH3605 my servantsH5650 the prophets,H5030 risingH7925 up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, saying,H559 ReturnH7725 you nowH4994 every manH376 from his evilH7451 way,H1870 and amendH3190 your doings,H4611 and goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and you shall dwellH3427 in the landH127 whichH834 I have givenH5414 to you and to your fathers:H1 but you have not inclinedH5186 your ear,H241 norH3808 listenedH8085 to me.
16
BecauseH3588 the sonsH1121 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 have performedH6965 the commandmentH4687 of their father,H1 whichH834 he commandedH6680 them; but thisH2088 peopleH5971 has not listenedH8085 to me:
17
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel;H3478 Behold,H2005 I will bringH935 on JudahH3063 and on allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 allH3605 the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 againstH5921 them: becauseH3282 I have spokenH1696 to them, but they have not heard;H8085 and I have calledH7121 to them, but they have not answered.H6030
18
And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to the houseH1004 of the Rechabites,H7397 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel;H3478 BecauseH3282 H834 you have obeyedH8085 the commandmentH4687 of JonadabH3082 your father,H1 and keptH8104 allH3605 his precepts,H4687 and doneH6213 according to allH3605 that he has commandedH6680 you:
19
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel;H3478 JonadabH3122 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 shall not wantH3772 a manH376 to standH5975 beforeH6440 me for ever.H3605 H3117
