Jeremiah 35 (kjv)

The word^H1697 which came unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068 in the days^H3117 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, saying^H559,²Go^H1980 unto the house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397, and speak^H1696 unto them, and bring^H935 them into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, into one^H259 of the chambers^H3957, and give them wine^H3196 to drink^H8248.³Then I took^H3947 Jaazaniah^H2970 the son^H1121 of Jeremiah^H3414, the son^H1121 of Habaziniah^H2262, and his brethren^H251, and all his sons^H1121, and the whole house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397;⁴And I brought^H935 them into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, into the chamber^H3957 of the sons^H1121 of Hanan^H2605, the son^H1121 of Igdaliah^H3012, a man^H376 of God^H430, which was by^H681 the chamber^H3957 of the princes^H8269, which was above^H4605 the chamber^H3957 of Maaseiah^H4641 the son^H1121 of Shallum^H7967, the keeper^H8104 of the door^H5592:⁵And I set^H5414 before^H6440 the sons^H1121 of the house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397 pots^H1375 full^H4392 of wine^H3196, and cups^H3563, and I said^H559 unto them, Drink^H8354 ye wine^H3196.⁶But they said^H559, We will drink^H8354 no wine^H3196: for Jonadab^H3122 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 our father^H1 commanded^H6680 us, saying^H559, Ye shall drink^H8354 no wine^H3196, neither ye, nor your sons^H1121 for^H5704 ever^H5769:⁷Neither shall ye build^H1129 house^H1004, nor sow^H2232 seed^H2233, nor plant^H5193 vineyard^H3754, nor have any: but all your days^H3117 ye shall dwell^H3427 in tents^H168; that ye may live^H2421 many^H7227 days^H3117 in^H6440 the land^H127 where ye be strangers^H1481.⁸Thus have we obeyed^H8085 the voice^H6963 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 our father^H1 in all that he hath charged^H6680 us, to drink^H8354 no wine^H3196 all our days^H3117, we, our wives^H802, our sons^H1121, nor our daughters^H1323;⁹Nor to build^H1129 houses^H1004 for us to dwell in^H3427: neither have we vineyard^H3754, nor field^H7704, nor seed^H2233:¹⁰But we have dwelt in^H3427 tents^H168, and have obeyed^H8085, and done^H6213 according to all that Jonadab^H3122 our father^H1 commanded^H6680 us.¹¹But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 came up^H5927 into the land^H776, that we said^H559, Come^H935, and let us go^H935 to Jerusalem^H3389 for fear^H6440 of the army^H2428 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and for fear^H6440 of the army^H2428 of the Syrians^H758: so we dwell^H3427 at Jerusalem^H3389.

¹²Then came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H559,¹³Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Go^H1980 and tell^H559 the men^H376 of Judah^H3063 and the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, Will ye not receive^H3947 instruction^H4148 to hearken^H8085 to my words^H1697? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.¹⁴The words^H1697 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394, that he commanded^H6680 his sons^H1121 not to drink^H8354 wine^H3196, are performed^H6965; for unto this day^H3117 they drink^H8354 none, but obey^H8085 their father's^H1 commandment^H4687: notwithstanding I have spoken^H1696 unto you, rising early^H7925 and speaking^H1696; but ye hearkened^H8085 not unto me.¹⁵I have sent^H7971 also unto you all my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, rising up early^H7925 and sending^H7971 them, saying^H559, Return^H7725 ye now every man^H376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870, and amend^H3190 your doings^H4611, and go^H3212 not after^H310 other^H312 gods^H430 to serve^H5647 them, and ye shall dwell in^H3427 the land^H127 which I have given^H5414 to you and to your fathers^H1: but ye have not inclined^H5186 your ear^H241, nor hearkened^H8085 unto me.¹⁶Because the sons^H1121 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 have performed^H6965 the commandment^H4687 of their father^H1, which he commanded^H6680 them; but this people^H5971 hath not hearkened^H8085 unto me:¹⁷Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will bring^H935 upon Judah^H3063 and upon all the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389 all the evil^H7451 that I have pronounced^H1696 against them: because I have spoken^H1696 unto them, but they have not heard^H8085; and I have called^H7121 unto them, but they have not answered^H6030.

¹⁸And Jeremiah^H3414 said^H559 unto the house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Because ye have obeyed^H8085 the commandment^H4687 of Jonadab^H3082 your father^H1, and kept^H8104 all his precepts^H4687, and done^H6213 according unto all that he hath commanded^H6680 you:¹⁹Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Jonadab^H3122 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 shall not want^H3772 a man^H376 to stand^H5975 before^H6440 me for ever^H3117.
