have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his
neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the L
ORD
, to the sword, to the pestilence, and
to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
18
And I will
give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the
covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the
parts thereof,
19
The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests,
and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20
I will even give them
into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies
shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21
And Zedekiah king
of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that
seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.

Behold, I will command, saith the L
ORD
, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight
against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without
an inhabitant.
CHAPTER 35
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the L
ORD
in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of Judah, saying,
2
Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into
the house of the L
ORD
, into one of the chambers, and give themwine to drink.
3
Then I took Jaazaniah
the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house
of the Rechabites;
4
And I brought them into the house of the L
ORD
, into the chamber of the sons
of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which
was
by the chamber of the princes, which
was
above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
5
And I set before the
sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye
wine.
6
But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded
us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine,
neither
ye, nor your sons for ever:
7
Neither shall ye build house,
nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have
any:
but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye
may live many days in the land where ye
be
strangers.
8
Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab
the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our
wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
9
Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard,
nor field, nor seed:
10
But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that
Jonadab our father commanded us.

Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
12
Then came the word of the L
ORD
unto Jeremiah, saying,
13
Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts, the
God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive
instruction to hearken to my words? saith the L
ORD
.

The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab,
