The wordwhichcameuntoJeremiahfromthe LORDin the daysof Jehoiakimthe sonof Josiahkingof Judah, saying, Gountothe houseof the Rechabites, and speak untothem, and bringthem into the houseof the LORD, intooneof the chambers, and give them wineto drink. Then I tookJaazaniahthe sonof Jeremiah, the sonof Habaziniah, and his brethren, and allhis sons, and the wholehouseof the Rechabites; And I broughtthem into the houseof the LORD, intothe chamberof the sonsof Hanan, the sonof Igdaliah, a manof God, which was bythe chamberof the princes, which was abovethe chamberof Maaseiahthe sonof Shallum, the keeperof the door: And I setbeforethe sonsof the houseof the Rechabitespotsfullof wine, and cups, and I saiduntothem, Drinkye wine. But they said, We will drinknowine: forJonadabthe sonof Rechabour fathercommandedus, saying, Ye shall drinknowine, neither ye, nor your sonsforever: Neithershall ye buildhouse, norsowseed, norplantvineyard, norhave any : butallyour daysye shall dwellin tents; thatye may livemanydaysinthe landwhereye be strangers. Thus have we obeyedthe voiceof Jonadabthe sonof Rechabour fatherin allthathe hath chargedus, to drinknowineallour days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters; Norto buildhousesfor us to dwellin: neitherhavewe vineyard, nor field, nor seed: But we have dweltin tents, and have obeyed, and doneaccording to allthatJonadabour fathercommandedus. But it came to pass, when Nebuchadnezzarkingof Babyloncame upintothe land, that we said, Come, and let us goto Jerusalemfor fearof the armyof the Chaldeans, and for fearof the armyof the Syrians: so we dwellat Jerusalem. Then camethe wordof the LORDuntoJeremiah, saying, Thussaiththe LORDof hosts, the Godof Israel; Goand tellthe menof Judahand the inhabitantsof Jerusalem, Will ye notreceiveinstructionto hearkentomy words? saiththe LORD. The wordsof Jonadabthe sonof Rechab, thathe commandedhis sonsnotto drinkwine, are performed; for untothisdaythey drinknone, butobeytheir father's commandment: notwithstanding Ihave spokenuntoyou, rising earlyand speaking; but ye hearkenednotuntome.
