35:1 The word 1697 which came unto Jeremiah 3414 from the LORD 3068 in the days 3117 of Jehoiakim 3079 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977 king 4428 of Judah 3063, saying 559 8800,

35:2 Go 1980 8800 unto the house 1004 of the Rechabites 7397, and speak 1696 8765 unto them, and bring 935 8689 them into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, into one 259 of the chambers 3957, and give them wine 3196 to drink 8248 8689.

35:3 Then I took 3947 8799 Jaazaniah 2970 the son 1121 of Jeremiah 3414, the son 1121 of Habaziniah 2262, and his brethren 251, and all his sons 1121, and the whole house 1004 of the Rechabites 7397;

35:4 And I brought 935 8686 them into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, into the chamber 3957 of the sons 1121 of Hanan 2605, the son 1121 of Igdaliah 3012, a man 376 of God 430, which [was] by 681 the chamber 3957 of the princes 8269, which [was] above 4605 the chamber 3957 of Maaseiah 4641 the son 1121 of Shallum 7967, the keeper 8104 8802 of the door 5592:(door: Heb. threshold, or, vessel)

35:5 And I set 5414 8799 before 6440 the sons 1121 of the house 1004 of the Rechabites 7397 pots 1375 full 4392 of wine 3196, and cups 3563, and I said 559 8799 unto them, Drink 8354 8798 ye wine 3196.

35:6 But they said 559 8799, We will drink 8354 8799 no wine 3196: for Jonadab 3122 the son 1121 of Rechab 7394 our father 1 commanded 6680 8765 us, saying 559 8800, Ye shall drink 8354 8799 no wine 3196, [neither ye], nor your sons 1121 for 5704 ever 5769:

35:7 Neither shall ye build 1129 8799 house 1004, nor sow 2232 8799 seed 2233, nor plant 5193 8799 vineyard 3754, nor have [any]: but all your days 3117 ye shall dwell 3427 8799 in tents 168; that ye may live 2421 8799 many 7227 days 3117 in 6440 the land 127 where ye [be] strangers 1481 8802.

35:8 Thus have we obeyed 8085 8799 the voice 6963 of Jonadab 3082 the son 1121 of Rechab 7394 our father 1 in all that he hath charged 6680 8765 us, to drink 8354 8800 no wine 3196 all our days 3117, we, our wives 802, our sons 1121, nor our daughters 1323;

35:9 Nor to build 1129 8800 houses 1004 for us to dwell in 3427 8800: neither have we vineyard 3754, nor field 7704, nor seed 2233:

35:10 But we have dwelt in 3427 8799 tents 168, and have obeyed 8085 8799, and done 6213 8799 according to all that Jonadab 3122 our father 1 commanded 6680 8765 us.

35:11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 came up 5927 8800 into the land 776, that we said 559 8799, Come 935 8798, and let us go 935 8799 to Jerusalem 3389 for fear 6440 of the army 2428 of the Chaldeans 3778, and for fear 6440 of the army 2428 of the Syrians 758: so we dwell 3427 8799 at Jerusalem 3389.

35:12 Then came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 unto Jeremiah 3414, saying 559 8800,

35:13 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Go 1980 8800 and tell 559 8804 the men 376 of Judah 3063 and the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389, Will ye not receive 3947 8799 instruction 4148 to hearken 8085 8800 to my words 1697? saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

35:14 The words 1697 of Jonadab 3082 the son 1121 of Rechab 7394, that he commanded 6680 8765 his sons 1121 not to drink 8354 8800 wine 3196, are performed 6965 8717; for unto this day 3117 they drink 8354 8804 none, but obey 8085 8804 their father's 1 commandment 4687: notwithstanding I have spoken 1696 8765 unto you, rising early 7925 8687 and speaking 1696 8763; but ye hearkened 8085 8804 not unto me.

35:15 I have sent 7971 8799 also unto you all my servants 5650 the prophets 5030, rising up early 7925 8687 and sending 7971 8800 [them], saying 559 8800, Return 7725 8798 ye now every man 376 from his evil 7451 way 1870, and amend 3190 8685 your doings 4611, and go 3212 8799 not after 310 other 312 gods 430 to serve 5647 8800 them, and ye shall dwell in 3427 8798 the land 127 which I have given 5414 8804 to you and to your fathers 1: but ye have not inclined 5186 8689 your ear 241, nor hearkened 8085 8804 unto me.

35:16 Because the sons 1121 of Jonadab 3082 the son 1121 of Rechab 7394 have performed 6965 8689 the commandment 4687 of their father 1, which he commanded 6680 8765 them; but this people 5971 hath not hearkened 8085 8804 unto me:

35:17 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Behold, I will bring 935 8688 upon Judah 3063 and upon all the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389 all the evil 7451 that I have pronounced 1696 8765 against them: because I have spoken 1696 8765 unto them, but they have not heard 8085 8804; and I have called 7121 8799 unto them, but they have not answered 6030 8804.

35:18 And Jeremiah 3414 said 559 8804 unto the house 1004 of the Rechabites 7397, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Because ye have obeyed 8085 8804 the commandment 4687 of Jonadab 3082 your father 1, and kept 8104 8799 all his precepts 4687, and done 6213 8799 according unto all that he hath commanded 6680 8765 you:

35:19 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Jonadab 3122 the son 1121 of Rechab 7394 shall not want 3772 8735 a man 376 to stand 5975 8802 before 6440 me for ever 3117.(Jonadab…: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off from Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand, etc)
