Rekabiternas trohet och judafolkets trolöshet
35 Detta är det ord som kom till Jeremia från Herren i Jojakims, Josias sons, Juda kungs, tid. Han sade: 2 "Gå till rekabiternas släkt och tala med dem och för dem in i en av kamrarna till Herrens hus och ge dem vin att dricka."
3 Då tog jag med mig Jaasanja, son till Jeremia, son till Habassinja, samt hans bröder, alla hans söner och rekabiternas övriga släkt 4 och förde dem till Herrens hus, in i den kammare som tillhörde sönerna till gudsmannen Hanan, Jigdaljas son. Den kammaren ligger bredvid furstarnas, ovanför dörrvaktaren Maasejas, Sallums sons, kammare. 5 Och jag satte fram kannor fulla av vin och bägare för rekabiterna och bjöd dem vin att dricka.
6 Men de svarade: "Vi dricker inte vin, för vår far Jonadab, Rekabs son, har befallt oss: Ni och era barn skall aldrig dricka vin. 7 Ni skall inte bygga hus, inte så säd eller plantera vingårdar och inte heller äga sådana, utan ni skall bo i tält i all er tid, för att ni länge skall leva i det land där ni bor som främlingar. 8 Vi lyder allt vad vår fader Jonadab, Rekabs son, har befallt och därför dricker vi aldrig vin, varken vi eller våra hustrur, våra söner eller våra döttrar. 9 Och vi bygger inte heller hus att bo i och vi äger inte vingårdar, åkrar eller säd. 10 Vi har bott i tält och har rättat oss efter och gjort allt vad vår fader Jonadab har befallt oss. 11 Men när Nebukadressar, kungen i Babel, drog upp mot landet sade vi: Låt oss flytta till Jerusalem för att komma undan kaldeernas och arameernas här. Och så bosatte vi oss i Jerusalem."
12 Herrens ord kom till Jeremia. Han sade: 13 "Så säger Herren Sebaot, Israels Gud: Gå och säg till Juda män och till Jerusalems invånare: Skall ni inte ta emot tillrättavisning och lyssna till mina ord? säger Herren. 14 Det bud som Jonadab, Rekabs son, gav sina barn att de inte skulle dricka vin har de hållit och än i dag dricker de inte vin, eftersom de lyder sin faders befallning. Men själv har jag gång på gång talat till er och ni har inte lyssnat till mig. 15 Gång på gång har jag sänt till er mina tjänare profeterna och låtit säga: Vänd om var och en från sin onda väg, bättra ert sätt att leva och följ inte efter andra gudar, så att ni tjänar dem. Då skall ni få bo i det land som jag har givit er och era fäder. Men ni slog dövörat till och lyssnade inte på mig.
16 Eftersom detta folk inte har gjort som jag har sagt, så som Jonadabs, Rekabs sons, efterkommande har följt den befallning som deras fader gav dem, 17 därför säger Herren, härskarornas Gud, Israels Gud, så: Se, över Juda och alla Jerusalems invånare skall jag låta all den olycka komma som jag har uttalat över dem, därför att de inte lyssnade när jag talade till dem och inte svarade när jag kallade på dem."
18 Till rekabiterna sade Jeremia: "Så säger Herren Sebaot, Israels Gud: Därför att ni har följt er fader Jonadabs befallning och hållit alla hans befallningar och på allt sätt gjort som han har befallt er, 19 därför säger Herren Sebaot, Israels Gud, så: Jonadab, Rekabs son, kommer alltid att ha en avkomling i tjänst inför mitt ansikte."

The Rekabites
35 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord during the reign of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah king of Judah: 2 “Go to the Rekabite(B) family and invite them to come to one of the side rooms(C) of the house of the Lord and give them wine to drink.”
3 So I went to get Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the whole family of the Rekabites. 4 I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the room of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah the man of God.(D) It was next to the room of the officials, which was over that of Maaseiah son of Shallum(E) the doorkeeper.(F) 5 Then I set bowls full of wine and some cups before the Rekabites and said to them, “Drink some wine.”
6 But they replied, “We do not drink wine, because our forefather Jehonadab[a](G) son of Rekab gave us this command: ‘Neither you nor your descendants must ever drink wine.(H) 7 Also you must never build houses, sow seed or plant vineyards; you must never have any of these things, but must always live in tents.(I) Then you will live a long time in the land(J) where you are nomads.’ 8 We have obeyed everything our forefather(K) Jehonadab son of Rekab commanded us. Neither we nor our wives nor our sons and daughters have ever drunk wine 9 or built houses to live in or had vineyards, fields or crops.(L) 10 We have lived in tents and have fully obeyed everything our forefather Jehonadab commanded us. 11 But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded(M) this land, we said, ‘Come, we must go to Jerusalem(N) to escape the Babylonian[b] and Aramean armies.’ So we have remained in Jerusalem.”
12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: 13 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell(O) the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, ‘Will you not learn a lesson(P) and obey my words?’ declares the Lord. 14 ‘Jehonadab son of Rekab ordered his descendants not to drink wine and this command has been kept. To this day they do not drink wine, because they obey their forefather’s command.(Q) But I have spoken to you again and again,(R) yet you have not obeyed(S) me. 15 Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets(T) to you. They said, “Each of you must turn(U) from your wicked ways and reform(V) your actions; do not follow other gods(W) to serve them. Then you will live in the land(X) I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you have not paid attention or listened(Y) to me. 16 The descendants of Jehonadab son of Rekab have carried out the command their forefather(Z) gave them, but these people have not obeyed me.’
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Listen! I am going to bring on Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem every disaster(AA) I pronounced against them. I spoke to them, but they did not listen;(AB) I called to them, but they did not answer.’”(AC)
18 Then Jeremiah said to the family of the Rekabites, “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have obeyed the command of your forefather(AD) Jehonadab and have followed all his instructions and have done everything he ordered.’ 19 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jehonadab son of Rekab will never fail(AE) to have a descendant to serve(AF) me.’”

King James Version
35 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord 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 Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them wine 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 Lord, 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.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
12 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
13 Thus saith the Lord 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 Lord.
14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
