24:035:007 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant
           vineyard, nor have any:  but all your days ye shall dwell in
           tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be
           strangers.

24:035:008 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our
           father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all
           our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

24:035:009 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in:  neither have we
           vineyard, nor field, nor seed: 

24:035:010 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done
           according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

24:035:011 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came
           up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to
           Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear
           of the army of the Syrians:  so we dwell at Jerusalem.

24:035:012 Then came the word of the lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

24:035:013 Thus saith the lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell
           the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not
           receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the lord.

24:035:014 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his
           sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they
           drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: 
           notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and
           speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.

24:035:015 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising
           up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man
           from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after
           other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which
           I have given to you and to your fathers:  but ye have not
           inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.

24:035:016 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed
           the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but
           this people hath not hearkened unto me: 

24:035:017 Therefore thus saith the lord God of hosts, the God of Israel;
           Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants
           of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: 
           because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and
           I have called unto them, but they have not answered.

24:035:018 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith
           the lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed
           the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his
           precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded
           you:
