WEBVTT 00:00.820 --> 00:05.060 Chapter 35 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of 00:05.060 --> 00:09.840 Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, Go into the house of the 00:09.840 --> 00:12.760 Rechobites and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, 00:12.900 --> 00:15.080 into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. 00:15.620 --> 00:19.560 Then I took Jeazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazaniah, and his brethren, 00:19.840 --> 00:24.040 and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechobites, and I brought them into 00:24.040 --> 00:27.920 the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanun, the son of Igdaliah, 00:28.160 --> 00:32.360 a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber 00:32.360 --> 00:34.980 of Maaseah, the son of Shalom, the keeper of the door. 00:35.700 --> 00:39.340 And I said before the sons of the house of the Rechobites, pots full of wine and 00:39.340 --> 00:41.560 cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. 00:42.020 --> 00:44.280 But they said, We will drink no wine. 00:44.980 --> 00:49.580 For Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no 00:49.580 --> 00:51.620 wine, neither ye nor your sons, for ever. 00:52.260 --> 00:56.620 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any. 00:57.160 --> 01:01.100 But all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land 01:01.100 --> 01:02.020 where ye be strangers. 01:03.140 --> 01:07.440 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father, in all that 01:07.440 --> 01:11.620 he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, 01:11.720 --> 01:12.340 nor our daughters. 01:13.120 --> 01:16.740 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in, neither have we vineyard, nor field, 01:16.880 --> 01:17.380 nor seed. 01:17.380 --> 01:21.260 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed and done according to all that 01:21.260 --> 01:22.940 Jonadab our father commanded us. 01:23.540 --> 01:27.180 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezza king of Babylon came up into the land, 01:27.700 --> 01:31.520 that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the 01:31.520 --> 01:34.260 Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians. 01:34.840 --> 01:35.960 So we dwell at Jerusalem. 01:36.980 --> 01:40.860 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of 01:40.860 --> 01:44.500 hosts, the God of Israel, Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of 01:44.500 --> 01:48.280 Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? 01:48.460 --> 01:49.240 saith the Lord. 01:49.900 --> 01:53.640 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink 01:53.640 --> 01:54.780 wine, are performed. 01:55.520 --> 01:58.860 For unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment. 01:59.300 --> 02:03.240 Notwithstanding, I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking, but ye 02:03.240 --> 02:04.420 hearkened not unto me. 02:05.080 --> 02:09.120 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending 02:09.120 --> 02:13.700 them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, 02:13.700 --> 02:18.060 and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I 02:18.060 --> 02:19.540 have given to you and to your fathers. 02:20.400 --> 02:22.700 But ye have not inclined your ear nor hearkened unto me. 02:23.280 --> 02:27.060 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of 02:27.060 --> 02:30.900 their father, which he commanded them, but this people hath not hearkened unto 02:30.900 --> 02:31.100 me. 02:31.860 --> 02:35.140 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, 02:35.800 --> 02:40.140 I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that 02:40.140 --> 02:43.300 I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken unto them, 02:43.700 --> 02:47.260 but they have not heard, and I have called unto them, but they have not answered. 02:47.940 --> 02:52.120 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 02:52.340 --> 02:56.160 the God of Israel, Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, 02:56.380 --> 03:00.240 and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded 03:00.240 --> 03:00.520 you. 03:01.240 --> 03:05.020 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Jonadab the son of 03:05.020 --> 03:07.720 Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
