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:
