Jeremiah 35 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
2 "Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them to the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers; then offer them wine to drink."
3 So I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.
4 I brought them to the house of the LORD into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the chamber of the princes, above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, keeper of the threshold.
5 Then I set before the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, "Drink wine."
6 But they answered, "We will drink no wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, `You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons for ever;
7 you shall not build a house; you shall not sow seed; you shall not plant or have a vineyard; but you shall live in tents all your days, that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.'
8 We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, ourselves, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,
9 and not to build houses to dwell in. We have no vineyard or field or seed;
10 but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed and done all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 But when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up against the land, we said, `Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans and the army of the Syrians.' So we are living in Jerusalem."
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
13 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction and listen to my words? says the LORD.
14 The command which Jonadab the son of Rechab gave to his sons, to drink no wine, has been kept; and they drink none to this day, for they have obeyed their father's command. I have spoken to you persistently, but you have not listened to me.
15 I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them persistently, saying, `Turn now every one of you from his evil way, and amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and then you shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers.' But you did not incline your ear or listen to me.
16 The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command which their father gave them, but this people has not obeyed me.
17 Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing on Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them and they have not listened, I have called to them and they have not answered."
18 But to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the command of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done all that he commanded you,
19 therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall never lack a man to stand before me."
1 The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 in the days H3117 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 saying, H559
2 Go H1980 unto H413 the house H1004 of the Rechabites, H7397 and speak unto H1696 them , and bring H935 them into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 into H413 one H259 of the chambers, H3957 and give them wine H3196 to drink. H8248
3 Then I took H3947 H853 Jaazaniah H2970 the son H1121 of Jeremiah, H3414 the son H1121 of Habaziniah, H2262 and his brethren, H251 and all H3605 his sons, H1121 and the whole H3605 house H1004 of the Rechabites; H7397
4 And I brought H935 them into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 into H413 the chamber H3957 of the sons H1121 of Hanan, H2605 the son H1121 of Igdaliah, H3012 a man H376 of God, H430 which H834 was by H681 the chamber H3957 of the princes, H8269 which H834 was above H4480 H4605 the chamber H3957 of Maaseiah H4641 the son H1121 of Shallum, H7967 the keeper H8104 of the door: H5592
5 And 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 H413 them, Drink H8354 ye wine. H3196
6 But they said, H559 We will drink H8354 no H3808 wine: H3196 for H3588 Jonadab H3122 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 our father H1 commanded H6680 H5921 us, saying, H559 Ye shall drink H8354 no H3808 wine, H3196 neither ye, H859 nor your sons H1121 forever H5704 H5769 :
7 Neither H3808 shall ye build H1129 house, H1004 nor H3808 sow H2232 seed, H2233 nor H3808 plant H5193 vineyard, H3754 nor H3808 have H1961 any : but H3588 all H3605 your days H3117 ye shall dwell H3427 in tents; H168 that H4616 ye may live H2421 many H7227 days H3117 in H5921 H6440 the land H127 where H834 H8033 ye H859 be strangers. H1481
8 Thus have we obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of Jonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 our father H1 in all H3605 that H834 he hath charged H6680 us , to drink H8354 no H1115 wine H3196 all H3605 our days, H3117 we, H587 our wives, H802 our sons, H1121 nor our daughters; H1323
9 Nor H1115 to build H1129 houses H1004 for us to dwell H3427 in: neither H3808 have H1961 we vineyard, H3754 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 that H834 Jonadab H3122 our father H1 commanded H6680 us.
11 But it came to pass, H1961 when Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came up H5927 into H413 the land, H776 that we said, H559 Come, H935 and let us go H935 to Jerusalem H3389 for fear H4480 H6440 of the army H2428 of the Chaldeans, H3778 and for fear H4480 H6440 of the army H2428 of the Syrians: H758 so we dwell H3427 at Jerusalem. H3389
12 Then came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 unto H413 Jeremiah, H3414 saying, H559
13 Thus H3541 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 H3808 receive H3947 instruction H4148 to hearken H8085 to H413 my words H1697 ? saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
14 H853 The words H1697 of Jonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab, H7394 that H834 he commanded H6680 H853 his sons H1121 not H1115 to drink H8354 wine, H3196 are performed; H6965 for unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 they drink H8354 none, H3808 but H3588 obey H8085 H853 their father's H1 commandment: H4687 notwithstanding I H595 have spoken H1696 unto H413 you , rising early H7925 and speaking; H1696 but ye hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 me.
15 I have sent H7971 also unto H413 you H853 all H3605 my servants H5650 the prophets, H5030 rising up early H7925 and sending H7971 them , saying, H559 Return H7725 ye now H4994 every man H376 from his evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 , and amend H3190 your doings, H4611 and go H1980 not H408 after H310 other H312 gods H430 to serve H5647 them , and ye shall dwell H3427 in H413 the land H127 which H834 I have given H5414 to you and to your fathers: H1 but ye have not H3808 inclined H5186 H853 your ear, H241 nor H3808 hearkened H8085 unto H413 me.
16 Because H3588 the sons H1121 of Jonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 have performed H6965 H853 the commandment H4687 of their father, H1 which H834 he commanded H6680 them ; but this H2088 people H5971 hath not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto H413 me:
17 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, H2009 I will bring H935 upon H413 Judah H3063 and upon H413 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 that H834 I have pronounced H1696 against H5921 them: because H3282 I have spoken H1696 unto H413 them , but they have not H3808 heard; H8085 and I have called H7121 unto them , but they have not H3808 answered. H6030
18 And Jeremiah H3414 said H559 unto the house H1004 of the Rechabites, H7397 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Because H3283 H834 ye have obeyed H8085 H5921 the commandment H4687 of Jonadab H3082 your father, H1 and kept H8104 H853 all H3605 his precepts, H4687 and done H6213 according unto all H3605 that H834 he hath commanded H6680 you:
19 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Jonadab H3122 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 shall not H3808 want H3772 a man H376 to stand H5975 before H6440 me forever H3605 H3117 .
