1

The wordh1697 whichh834 cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414 from the LORDh3068 in the daysh3117 of  aJehoiakimh3079 the sonh1121 of Josiahh2977, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, sayingh559,

2

"Goh1980 to the househ1004 of the  aRechabitesh7397a and speakh1696 to them, and bringh935 them into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, into oneh259 of the  bchambersh3957, and giveh8248 them wineh3196 to drinkh8248."

3

Then I tookh3947 Jaazaniahh2970 the sonh1121 of Jeremiahh3414, sonh1121 of Habazziniahh2262, and his brothersh251 and allh3605 his sonsh1121 and the wholeh3605 househ1004 of the Rechabitesh7397a,

4

and I broughth935 them into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, into the chamberh3957 of the sonsh1121 of Hananh2605 the sonh1121 of Igdaliahh3012, the  amanh376 of Godh430, whichh834 was nearh681a the chamberh3957 of the officialsh8269, whichh834 was aboveh4480h4605 the chamberh3957 of Maaseiahh4641 the sonh1121 of Shallumh7967,  bthe doorkeeperh8104h5592b.

5

Then I seth5414 beforeh6440 the  1menh1121 of the househ1004 of the Rechabitesh7397a pitchersh1375 fullh4392 of wineh3196 and cupsh3563a; and I saidh559 to them, " aDrinkh8354 wineh3196!"

6

But they saidh559, "We will not drinkh8354 wineh3196, for  aJonadabh3082 the sonh1121 of  bRechabh7394, our fatherh1, commandedh6680 us, sayingh559, `You shall  cnot drinkh8354 wineh3196, you or your sonsh1121, foreverh5704h5769.

7

`You shall not buildh1129 a househ1004, and you shall not sowh2232 seedh2233 and you shall not planth5193 a vineyardh3754 or ownh1961 one; but in  atentsh168 you shall dwellh3427 allh3605 your daysh3117, that you may liveh2421a  bmanyh7227a daysh3117 in the landh127 whereh834h8033 you  csojournh1481a.'

8

"We have  aobeyedh8085 the voiceh6963 of Jonadabh3082 the sonh1121 of Rechabh7394, our fatherh1, in allh3605 that he commandedh6680 us, not to drinkh8354 wineh3196 allh3605 our daysh3117, we, our wivesh802, our sonsh1121 or our daughtersh1323,

9

norh1115 to buildh1129 ourselves housesh1004 to dwellh3427 in; and we  ado not haveh1961 vineyardh3754 or fieldh7704 or seedh2233.

10

"We have only  adwelth3427 in tentsh168, and have obeyedh8085 and have doneh6213a according to allh3605 that  bJonadabh3082 our fatherh1 commandedh6680 us.

11

"But when  aNebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894 cameh5927 up againsth413 the landh776, we saidh559, `Comeh935 and let us  bgoh935 to Jerusalemh3389 beforeh4480h6440 the armyh2428 of the Chaldeansh3778 and beforeh4480h6440 the armyh2428 of the Arameansh758.' So we have dwelth3427 in Jerusalemh3389."

12

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414, sayingh559,

13

"Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, `Goh1980 and sayh559 to the menh376 of Judahh3063 and the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389, " aWill you not receiveh3947 instructionh4148 by listeningh8085 to My wordsh1697?" declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

14

"The  awordsh1697 of Jonadabh3082 the sonh1121 of Rechabh7394, whichh834 he commandedh6680 his sonsh1121 not to drinkh8354 wineh3196, are observedh6965. So they do not drinkh8354 wine to thish2088 dayh3117, for they have obeyedh8085 their father'sh1 commandh4687. But I have spokenh1696 to you  1 bagainh7925 and againh1696; yet you have  cnot listenedh8085 to Me.

15

"Also I have senth7971 to you allh3605 My  aservantsh5650 the prophetsh5030, sendingh7971 them  1againh7925 and againh7971, sayingh559: ` bTurnh7725 nowh4994 everyh376 manh376 from his evilh7451a wayh1870 and amendh3190 your deedsh4611, and  cdo not goh1980 afterh310 otherh312 godsh430 to worshiph5647 them. Then you will  ddwellh3427 in the landh127 whichh834 I have givenh5414 to you and to your forefathersh1; but you have not  einclinedh5186 your earh241 or listenedh8085 to Me.

16

`Indeedh3588, the sonsh1121 of Jonadabh3082 the sonh1121 of Rechabh7394 have  aobservedh6965 the commandh4687 of their fatherh1 whichh834 he commandedh6680 them, but thish2088 peopleh5971a has not listenedh8085 to Me.' "'

17

"Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, `Beholdh2009,  aI am bringingh935 on Judahh3063 and on allh3605 the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 allh3605 the disasterh7463a that I have pronouncedh1696 againsth5921 them; becauseh3282 I  bspokeh1696 to them but they did not listenh8085, and I have calledh7121 them but they did not answerh6030a.' "

18

Then Jeremiahh3414 saidh559 to the househ1004 of the Rechabitesh7397a, "Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, `Becauseh3282h834 you have  aobeyedh8085 the commandh4687 of Jonadabh3082 your fatherh1, kepth8104 allh3605 his commandsh4687 and doneh6213a according to allh3605 that he commandedh6680 you;

19

thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Jonadabh3082 the sonh1121 of Rechabh7394  ashall not lackh3772 a manh376 to  bstandh5975 beforeh6440 Me  1alwaysh3605h3117.""'
