1 H1697 The word H3414 which came unto Jeremiah H3068 from the LORD H3117 in the days H3079 of Jehoiakim H1121 the son H2977 of Josiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H559 , saying [H8800] ,

2 H1980 Go [H8800] H1004 unto the house H7397 of the Rechabites H1696 , and speak [H8765] H935 unto them, and bring [H8689] H1004 them into the house H3068 of the LORD H259 , into one H3957 of the chambers H3196 , and give them wine H8248 to drink [H8689] .

3 H3947 Then I took [H8799] H2970 Jaazaniah H1121 the son H3414 of Jeremiah H1121 , the son H2262 of Habaziniah H251 , and his brethren H1121 , and all his sons H1004 , and the whole house H7397 of the Rechabites;

4 H935 And I brought [H8686] H1004 them into the house H3068 of the LORD H3957 , into the chamber H1121 of the sons H2605 of Hanan H1121 , the son H3012 of Igdaliah H376 , a man H430 of God H681 , which was by H3957 the chamber H8269 of the princes H4605 , which was above H3957 the chamber H4641 of Maaseiah H1121 the son H7967 of Shallum H8104 , the keeper [H8802] H5592 of the door:

5 H5414 And I set [H8799] H6440 before H1121 the sons H1004 of the house H7397 of the Rechabites H1375 pots H4392 full H3196 of wine H3563 , and cups H559 , and I said [H8799] H8354 unto them, Drink [H8798] H3196 ye wine.

6 H559 But they said [H8799] H8354 , We will drink [H8799] H3196 no wine H3122 : for Jonadab H1121 the son H7394 of Rechab H1 our father H6680 commanded [H8765] H559 us, saying [H8800] H8354 , Ye shall drink [H8799] H3196 no wine H1121 , neither ye, nor your sons H5704 for H5769 ever:

7 H1129 Neither shall ye build [H8799] H1004 house H2232 , nor sow [H8799] H2233 seed H5193 , nor plant [H8799] H3754 vineyard H3117 , nor have any : but all your days H3427 ye shall dwell [H8799] H168 in tents H2421 ; that ye may live [H8799] H7227 many H3117 days H6440 in H127 the land H1481 where ye be strangers [H8802] .

8 H8085 Thus have we obeyed [H8799] H6963 the voice H3082 of Jonadab H1121 the son H7394 of Rechab H1 our father H6680 in all that he hath charged [H8765] H8354 us, to drink [H8800] H3196 no wine H3117 all our days H802 , we, our wives H1121 , our sons H1323 , nor our daughters;

9 H1129 Nor to build [H8800] H1004 houses H3427 for us to dwell in [H8800] H3754 : neither have we vineyard H7704 , nor field H2233 , nor seed:

10 H3427 But we have dwelt in [H8799] H168 tents H8085 , and have obeyed [H8799] H6213 , and done [H8799] H3122 according to all that Jonadab H1 our father H6680 commanded [H8765] us.

11 H5019 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H5927 came up [H8800] H776 into the land H559 , that we said [H8799] H935 , Come [H8798] H935 , and let us go [H8799] H3389 to Jerusalem H6440 for fear H2428 of the army H3778 of the Chaldeans H6440 , and for fear H2428 of the army H758 of the Syrians H3427 : so we dwell [H8799] H3389 at Jerusalem.

12 H1697 Then came the word H3068 of the LORD H3414 unto Jeremiah H559 , saying [H8800] ,

13 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H1980 ; Go [H8800] H559 and tell [H8804] H376 the men H3063 of Judah H3427 and the inhabitants [H8802] H3389 of Jerusalem H3947 , Will ye not receive [H8799] H4148 instruction H8085 to hearken [H8800] H1697 to my words H5002 ? saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD.

14 H1697 The words H3082 of Jonadab H1121 the son H7394 of Rechab H6680 , that he commanded [H8765] H1121 his sons H8354 not to drink [H8800] H3196 wine H6965 , are performed [H8717] H3117 ; for unto this day H8354 they drink [H8804] H8085 none, but obey [H8804] H1 their father's H4687 commandment H1696 : notwithstanding I have spoken [H8765] H7925 unto you, rising early [H8687] H1696 and speaking [H8763] H8085 ; but ye hearkened [H8804] not unto me.

15 H7971 I have sent [H8799] H5650 also unto you all my servants H5030 the prophets H7925 , rising up early [H8687] H7971 and sending [H8800] H559 them, saying [H8800] H7725 , Return [H8798] H376 ye now every man H7451 from his evil H1870 way H3190 , and amend [H8685] H4611 your doings H3212 , and go [H8799] H310 not after H312 other H430 gods H5647 to serve [H8800] H3427 them, and ye shall dwell in [H8798] H127 the land H5414 which I have given [H8804] H1 to you and to your fathers H5186 : but ye have not inclined [H8689] H241 your ear H8085 , nor hearkened [H8804] unto me.

16 H1121 Because the sons H3082 of Jonadab H1121 the son H7394 of Rechab H6965 have performed [H8689] H4687 the commandment H1 of their father H6680 , which he commanded [H8765] H5971 them; but this people H8085 hath not hearkened [H8804] unto me:

17 H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H430 God H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H935 ; Behold, I will bring [H8688] H3063 upon Judah H3427 and upon all the inhabitants [H8802] H3389 of Jerusalem H7451 all the evil H1696 that I have pronounced [H8765] H1696 against them: because I have spoken [H8765] H8085 unto them, but they have not heard [H8804] H7121 ; and I have called [H8799] H6030 unto them, but they have not answered [H8804] .

18 H3414 And Jeremiah H559 said [H8804] H1004 unto the house H7397 of the Rechabites H559 , Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H8085 ; Because ye have obeyed [H8804] H4687 the commandment H3082 of Jonadab H1 your father H8104 , and kept [H8799] H4687 all his precepts H6213 , and done [H8799] H6680 according unto all that he hath commanded [H8765] you:

19 H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H3122 ; Jonadab H1121 the son H7394 of Rechab H3772 shall not want [H8735] H376 a man H5975 to stand [H8802] H6440 before H3117 me for ever.
