Jeremiah Chapter 35 - King James Strong Number Version

1: The word <H1697> which came unto Jeremiah <H3414> from the LORD <H3068> in the days <H3117> of Jehoiakim <H3079> the son <H1121> of Josiah <H2977> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> saying, <H0559>
2: Go <H1980> unto the house <H1004> of the Rechabites, <H7397> and speak <H1696> unto them, and bring <H0935> them into the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> into one <H0259> of the chambers, <H3957> and give them wine <H3196> to drink. <H8248>
3: Then I took <H3947> Jaazaniah <H2970> the son <H1121> of Jeremiah, <H3414> the son <H1121> of Habaziniah, <H2262> and his brethren, <H0251> and all his sons, <H1121> and the whole house <H1004> of the Rechabites; <H7397>
4: And I brought them into <H0935> the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> into the chamber <H3957> of the sons <H1121> of Hanan, <H2605> the son <H1121> of Igdaliah, <H3012> a man <H0376> of God, <H0430> which [was] by <H0681> the chamber <H3957> of the princes, <H8269> which [was] above <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 <H0559> unto them, Drink <H8354> ye wine. <H3196>
6: But they said, <H0559> We will drink <H8354> no wine: <H3196> for Jonadab <H3122> the son <H1121> of Rechab <H7394> our father <H0001> commanded <H6680> us, saying, <H0559> Ye shall drink <H8354> no wine, <H3196> [neither ye], nor your sons <H1121> for <H5704> ever: <H5769>
7: Neither shall ye build <H1129> house, <H1004> nor sow <H2232> seed, <H2233> nor plant <H5193> vineyard, <H3754> nor have [any]: but all your days <H3117> ye shall dwell <H3427> in tents; <H0168> that ye may live <H2421> many <H7227> days <H3117> in <H6440> the land <H0127> where ye [be] strangers. <H1481>
8: Thus have we obeyed <H8085> the voice <H6963> of Jonadab <H3082> the son <H1121> of Rechab <H7394> our father <H0001> in all that he hath charged <H6680> us, to drink <H8354> no wine <H3196> all our days, <H3117> we, our wives, <H0802> our sons, <H1121> nor our daughters; <H1323>
9: Nor to build <H1129> houses <H1004> for us to dwell in: <H3427> neither have we vineyard, <H3754> nor field, <H7704> nor seed: <H2233>
10: But we have dwelt <H3427> in tents, <H0168> and have obeyed, <H8085> and done <H6213> according to all that Jonadab <H3122> our father <H0001> commanded <H6680> us.
11: But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar <H5019> king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> came up <H5927> into the land, <H0776> that we said, <H0559> Come, <H0935> and let us go <H0935> to Jerusalem <H3389> for fear <H6440> of the army <H2428> of the Chaldeans, <H3778> and for fear <H6440> of the army <H2428> of the Syrians: <H0758> so we dwell <H3427> at Jerusalem. <H3389>
12: Then came the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> unto Jeremiah, <H3414> saying, <H0559>
13: Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> the God <H0430> of Israel; <H3478> Go <H1980> and tell <H0559> the men <H0376> of Judah <H3063> and the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem, <H3389> Will ye not receive <H3947> instruction <H4148> to hearken <H8085> to my words? <H1697> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
14: The words <H1697> of Jonadab <H3082> the son <H1121> of Rechab, <H7394> that he commanded <H6680> his sons <H1121> not to drink <H8354> wine, <H3196> are performed; <H6965> for unto this day <H3117> they drink <H8354> none, but obey <H8085> their father's <H0001> commandment: <H4687> notwithstanding I have spoken <H1696> unto you, rising early <H7925> and speaking; <H1696> but ye hearkened <H8085> not unto me.
15: I have sent <H7971> also unto you all my servants <H5650> the prophets, <H5030> rising up early <H7925> and sending <H7971> [them], saying, <H0559> Return <H7725> ye now every man <H0376> from his evil <H7451> way, <H1870> and amend <H3190> your doings, <H4611> and go <H3212> not after <H0310> other <H0312> gods <H0430> to serve <H5647> them, and ye shall dwell <H3427> in the land <H0127> which I have given <H5414> to you and to your fathers: <H0001> but ye have not inclined <H5186> your ear, <H0241> nor hearkened <H8085> unto me.
16: Because the sons <H1121> of Jonadab <H3082> the son <H1121> of Rechab <H7394> have performed <H6965> the commandment <H4687> of their father, <H0001> which he commanded <H6680> them; but this people <H5971> hath not hearkened <H8085> unto me:
17: Therefore thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of hosts, <H6635> the God <H0430> of Israel; <H3478> Behold, I will bring <H0935> upon Judah <H3063> and upon all the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem <H3389> all the evil <H7451> that I have pronounced <H1696> against them: because I have spoken <H1696> unto them, but they have not heard; <H8085> and I have called <H7121> unto them, but they have not answered. <H6030>
18: And Jeremiah <H3414> said <H0559> unto the house <H1004> of the Rechabites, <H7397> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> the God <H0430> of Israel; <H3478> Because ye have obeyed <H8085> the commandment <H4687> of Jonadab <H3082> your father, <H0001> and kept <H8104> all his precepts, <H4687> and done <H6213> according unto all that he hath commanded <H6680> you:
19: Therefore thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> the God <H0430> of Israel; <H3478> Jonadab <H3122> the son <H1121> of Rechab <H7394> shall not want <H3772> a man <H0376> to stand <H5975> before <H6440> me for ever. <H3605> <H3117>
