Jeremiah 35:5-7
New International Version - UK
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] son of Rekab gave us this command: “Neither you nor your descendants must ever drink wine. 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. Then you will live a long time in the land where you are nomads.”
