Reading Jeremiah chapter 35 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
2 Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 And I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites,
4 and I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man ofGod, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink wine.
6 And they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, ye nor your sons for ever;
7 neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor shall ye have [any]; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land where ye sojourn.
8 And we have hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters,
9 and not 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.
