Jeremiah 35:1 (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 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 .
