Jeremiah 35:9 (NET) New English Translation

1 The LORD spoke to Jeremiah when Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.
2 "Go to the Rechabite community. Invite them to come into one of the side rooms of the LORD's temple and offer them some wine to drink."
3 So I went and got Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah the grandson of Habazziniah, his brothers, all his sons, and all the rest of the Rechabite community.
4 I took them to the LORD's temple. I took them into the room where the disciples of the prophet Hanan son of Igdaliah stayed. That room was next to the one where the temple officers stayed and above the room where Maaseiah son of Shallum, one of the doorkeepers of the temple, stayed.
5 Then I set cups and pitchers full of wine in front of the members of the Rechabite community and said to them, "Have some wine."
6 But they answered, "We do not drink wine because our ancestor Jonadab son of Rechab commanded us not to. He told us, 'You and your children must never drink wine.
7 Do not build houses. Do not plant crops. Do not plant a vineyard or own one. Live in tents all your lives. If you do these things you will live a long time in the land that you wander about on.'
8 We and our wives and our sons and daughters have obeyed everything our ancestor Jonadab commanded us. We have never drunk wine.
9 We have not built any houses to live in. We do not own any vineyards, fields, or crops.
10 We have lived in tents. We have obeyed our ancestor Jonadab and done exactly as he commanded us.
11 But when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded the land we said, 'Let's get up and go to Jerusalem to get away from the Babylonian and Aramean armies.' That is why we are staying here in Jerusalem."
12 Then the LORD spoke to Jeremiah.
13 The LORD God of Israel who rules over all told him, "Go and speak to the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem. Tell them, 'I, the LORD, say: "You must learn a lesson from this about obeying what I say!
14 Jonadab son of Rechab ordered his descendants not to drink wine. His orders have been carried out. To this day his descendants have drunk no wine because they have obeyed what their ancestor commanded them. But I have spoken to you over and over again, but you have not obeyed me!
15 I sent all my servants the prophets to warn you over and over again. They said, "Every one of you, stop doing the evil things you have been doing and do what is right. Do not pay allegiance to other gods and worship them. Then you can continue to live in this land that I gave to you and your ancestors." But you did not pay any attention or listen to me.
16 Yes, the descendants of Jonadab son of Rechab have carried out the orders that their ancestor gave them. But you people have not obeyed me!
17 So I, the LORD, the God who rules over all, the God of Israel, say: "I will soon bring on Judah and all the citizens of Jerusalem all the disaster that I threatened to bring on them. I will do this because I spoke to them but they did not listen. I called out to them but they did not answer."'"
18 Then Jeremiah spoke to the Rechabite community, "The LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, 'You have obeyed the orders of your ancestor Jonadab. You have followed all his instructions. You have done exactly as he commanded you.'
19 So the LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, 'Jonadab son of Rechab will never lack a male descendant to serve me.'"
1 The word H1697 D-NMS which H834 RPRO came H1961 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 from the LORD H3068 EDS in the days H3117 B-CMP of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 Go H1980 VQFA unto H413 PREP the house H1004 CMS of the Rechabites H7397 , and speak unto H1696 them , and bring H935 them into the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , into H413 PREP one H259 OFS of the chambers H3957 , and give them wine H3196 to drink H8248 .
3 Then I took H3947 Jaazaniah H2970 the son H1121 of Jeremiah H3414 , the son H1121 CMP-3MS of Habaziniah H2262 , and his brethren H251 NMP-3MS , and all H3605 NMS his sons H1121 , and the whole H3605 NMS house H1004 CMS of the Rechabites H7397 ;
4 And I brought H935 them into the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , into H413 PREP the chamber H3957 of the sons H1121 CMS of Hanan H2605 , the son H1121 CMS of Igdaliah H3012 , a man H376 NMS of God H430 D-EDP , which H834 RPRO was by H681 the chamber H3957 of the princes H8269 , which H834 RPRO was above H4605 the chamber H3957 of Maaseiah H4641 the son H1121 CMS of Shallum H7967 , the keeper H8104 of the door H5592 :
5 And I set H5414 before H6440 L-CMP the sons H1121 of the house H1004 CMS of the Rechabites H7397 pots H1375 full H4392 of wine H3196 NMS , and cups H3563 , and I said H559 W-VQY1MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , Drink H8354 ye wine H3196 .
6 But they said H559 W-VQY3MP , We will drink H8354 no H3808 NADV wine H3196 : for H3588 CONJ Jonadab H3122 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 our father H1 commanded H6680 VPQ3MS us , saying H559 L-VQFC , Ye shall drink H8354 no H3808 NADV wine H3196 NMS , neither ye H859 PPRO-2MS , nor your sons H1121 forever H5704 PREP :
7 Neither H3808 ADV shall ye build H1129 house H1004 , nor H3808 ADV sow H2232 seed H2233 , nor H3808 ADV plant H5193 vineyard H3754 W-NMS , nor H3808 W-NADV have H1961 VQY3MS any : but H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS your days H3117 ye shall dwell H3427 in tents H168 ; that H4616 L-CONJ ye may live H2421 many H7227 AMP days H3117 NMP in PREP the land H127 D-NFS where H834 RPRO ye H859 PPRO-2MS be strangers H1481 .
8 Thus have we obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 B-NMS of Jonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 our father H1 in all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO he hath charged H6680 us , to drink H8354 no H1115 L-NPAR wine H3196 NMS all H3605 NMS our days H3117 CMP-1MP , we H587 PPRO-1MP , our wives H802 , our sons H1121 , nor our daughters H1323 ;
9 Nor H1115 to build H1129 houses H1004 NMP for us to dwell H3427 in : neither H3808 NADV have H1961 VQY3MS we vineyard H3754 W-NMS , nor field H7704 , nor seed H2233 :
10 But we have dwelt H3427 in tents H168 , and have obeyed H8085 , and done H6213 according to all H3605 K-NMS that H834 RPRO Jonadab H3122 our father H1 commanded H6680 us .
11 But it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS came up H5927 B-CFP into H413 PREP the land H776 D-GFS , that we said H559 , Come H935 , and let us go H935 to Jerusalem H3389 for fear H6440 M-CMP of the army H2428 of the Chaldeans H3778 , and for fear H6440 of the army H2428 of the Syrians H758 EMS : so we dwell H3427 at Jerusalem H3389 .
12 Then came H1961 W-VPY3MS the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
13 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; Go H1980 and tell H559 the men H376 L-NMS of Judah H3063 and the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 , Will ye not H3808 D-NPAR receive H3947 instruction H4148 to hearken H8085 to H413 PREP my words H1697 CMP-1MS ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
14 The words H1697 CMP of Jonadab H3082 the son H1121 CMP-3MS of Rechab H7394 , that H834 RPRO he commanded H6680 VPQ3MS his sons H1121 CMP-3MS not H1115 L-NPAR to drink H8354 wine H3196 NMS , are performed H6965 ; for unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS they drink H8354 none H3808 W-NPAR , but H3588 CONJ obey H8085 VQQ3MP their father H1 CMS-3MP \'s commandment H4687 CFS : notwithstanding I H595 W-PPRO-1MS have spoken H1696 VPQ1MS unto H413 you , rising early H7925 and speaking H1696 ; but ye hearkened H8085 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR unto H413 me .
15 I have sent H7971 also unto H413 PREP you all H3605 NMS my servants H5650 the prophets H5030 , rising up early H7925 and sending H7971 them , saying H559 L-VQFC , Return H7725 ye now H4994 IJEC every man H376 NMS from his evil H7451 D-AFS way H1870 M-CMS-3MS , and amend H3190 your doings H4611 , and go H1980 not H408 W-NPAR after H310 PREP other H312 AMP gods H430 EDP to serve H5647 them , and ye shall dwell H3427 in H413 PREP the land H127 D-NFS which H834 RPRO I have given H5414 VQQ1MS to you and to your fathers H1 : but ye have not H3808 W-NPAR inclined H5186 your ear H241 , nor H3808 W-NPAR hearkened H8085 unto H413 PREP me .
16 Because H3588 CONJ the sons H1121 of Jonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 have performed H6965 the commandment H4687 CFS of their father H1 CMS-3MP , which H834 RPRO he commanded H6680 them ; but this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 hath not H3808 NADV hearkened H8085 VQQ3MP unto H413 me :
17 Therefore H3651 L-ADV thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 VHPMS upon H413 PREP Judah H3063 and upon H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 all H3605 NMS the evil H7451 D-AFS that H834 RPRO I have pronounced H1696 VPQ1MS against H5921 PREP-3MP them : because H3282 ADV I have spoken H1696 VPQ1MS unto H413 PREP them , but they have not H3808 W-NPAR heard H8085 ; and I have called H7121 unto them , but they have not H3808 W-NPAR answered H6030 .
18 And Jeremiah H3414 said H559 VQQ3MS unto the house H1004 of the Rechabites H7397 , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; Because H3283 ye have obeyed H8085 the commandment H4687 CFS of Jonadab H3082 your father H1 , and kept H8104 all H3605 NMS his precepts H4687 , and done H6213 according unto all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO he hath commanded H6680 VPQ3MS you :
19 Therefore H3651 L-ADV thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; Jonadab H3122 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 shall not H3808 ADV want H3772 VNI3MS a man H376 NMS to stand H5975 before H6440 L-CMP me forever H3117 D-NMP .
