Het voorbeeld van de familie van Rechab
35 In de tijd dat Jojakim, de zoon van Josia, koning van Juda was,[a] zei de Heer tegen mij: 2 "Ga naar de mannen uit de familie van Rechab. Vraag hen om met je mee te gaan naar de tempel van de Heer. Breng hen daar in één van de kamers en geef hun wijn te drinken."
3 Toen nam ik alle mannen uit de familie van Rechab mee naar de tempel van de Heer. Dat waren Jaäzanja, de zoon van Jeremia, die een zoon was van Habazzinja, en al zijn broers en al zijn zonen. 4 Ik bracht hen naar de kamer van de zonen van Hanan (Hanan was een zoon van de profeet Jigdalja). Die kamer ligt naast de kamer van de opzichter van de tempel, boven de kamer van poortwachter Maäseja, de zoon van Sallum. 5 Ik zette kannen met wijn en bekers voor hen neer en zei tegen hen dat ze mochten drinken. 6 Maar ze zeiden: "Wij drinken geen wijn. Want onze voorvader Jonadab,[b] de zoon van Rechab, heeft ons bevolen dat wij en onze kinderen nooit wijn mogen drinken. 7 Ook mogen we geen huizen bouwen, geen akkers bewerken en geen wijngaarden aanleggen of bezitten. We moeten ons hele leven in tenten wonen. Hij zei dat we alleen dán lang zullen leven in het land hier, waar we als vreemdelingen wonen. 8 Daaraan hebben we ons altijd gehouden. We hebben altijd gedaan wat onze voorvader Jonadab heeft gezegd. Daarom drinken we ons hele leven geen wijn. Onze vrouwen, zonen en dochters ook niet. 9 Ook bouwen we geen huizen om in te wonen en bezitten we geen wijngaarden of akkers. 10 Maar we wonen in tenten. We hebben altijd alles gedaan wat onze voorvader Jonadab ons heeft bevolen. 11 Maar toen koning Nebukadnezar van Babel een oorlog tegen dit land begon, zijn wij voor het leger van de Babyloniërs en de Arameeërs naar Jeruzalem gevlucht. Daarom wonen we nu in Jeruzalem."
12 Toen zei de Heer tegen mij: 13 "Dit zegt de Heer van de hemelse legers, de God van Israël: Zeg tegen de mannen van Juda en de bewoners van Jeruzalem: Hiervan zouden jullie iets kunnen leren! Waarom gehoorzamen jullie niet op dezelfde manier aan wat Ik tegen jullie gezegd heb? zegt de Heer. 14 Deze mannen drinken geen wijn omdat hun voorvader Jonadab dat tegen zijn zonen gezegd heeft. Tot de dag van vandaag hebben ze geen wijn gedronken. Ze zijn gehoorzaam geweest aan het bevel van hun voorvader. Maar júllie hebben nooit naar Míj willen luisteren, hoewel Ik aldoor tegen jullie sprak. 15 Ik stuurde steeds mijn profeten naar jullie toe. Steeds zeiden zij dat jullie moesten stoppen met de slechte dingen die jullie doen. Steeds zei Ik: 'Kom bij Mij terug! Stop met het dienen van andere goden! Dan zullen jullie in het land blijven wonen dat Ik aan jullie en jullie voorouders gegeven heb.' Maar jullie wilden niet naar Mij luisteren. 16 De zonen van Jonadab hebben geluisterd naar wat hun voorvader bevolen had. Maar dit volk wil niet naar Míj luisteren. 17 Daarom zegt de Heer, de God van de hemelse legers, de God van Israël: Let op, Ik laat over de bewoners van Juda en van Jeruzalem alle rampen komen waarmee Ik hen bedreigd heb. Want Ik heb tegen hen gesproken, maar ze hebben niet geluisterd. Ik heb hen geroepen, maar ze hebben Mij niet geantwoord."
18 Tegen de familie van Rechab zei ik: "Dit zegt de Heer van de hemelse legers, de God van Israël: Jullie zijn gehoorzaam geweest aan het bevel van jullie voorvader Jonadab. Jullie hebben altijd alles gedaan wat hij jullie bevolen heeft. 19 Daarom beloof Ik jullie dat er altijd iemand in de familie van Rechab zal zijn die Mij zal dienen, zegt de Heer van de hemelse legers, de God van Israël."

Rekab's descendants
35 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah when Josiah's son Jehoiakim ruled Judah as king. 2 He said, ‘Go to the place where Rekab's descendants live. Ask them to come to the Lord's temple. Take them into one of the temple's small rooms. Give to them some wine to drink.’
3 So I went to meet with Rekab's descendants. They were Jaazaniah, son of Jeremiah and grandson of Habazziniah.[a] I also met with Jaazaniah's brothers and all his sons. Those were all the descendants of Rekab. 4 I took them to the Lord's temple. I took them into the room where the disciples of the prophet Hanan lived. He was the son of Igdaliah. That room was next to the room where the temple officers lived. It was also above the room where Shallum's son Maaseiah lived. He was one of the guards for the doors of the temple. 5 I put some jars of wine and some cups in front of Rekab's descendants. I said to them, ‘Drink some wine.’
6 They replied, ‘We do not drink wine. Our ancestor Jonadab, son of Rekab, said to us, “You and your descendants must never drink wine. 7 You must not build houses. You must not plant seed in fields to grow crops. You must not plant vines or have a vineyard. Instead, you must always live in tents. If you live in that way, you will live for a long time as you travel around in the land.”
8 We have obeyed all the rules that our ancestor Jonadab gave to us. Our wives and our children have also obeyed them. We have never drunk wine. 9 We have never built houses to be our homes. We have no fields or vineyards and we grow no crops. 10 We have always lived in tents. So we have completely obeyed our ancestor Jonadab. We have done everything that he commanded us to do. 11 But when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked our land, we decided to come to Jerusalem. We said, “We must leave here and go to Jerusalem. We must escape from the armies of Babylon and Syria.” That is why we are now living in Jerusalem.’
12 Then the Lord gave this message to Jeremiah. 13 The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, said to him, ‘Go and speak to the people of Judah, including those who live in Jerusalem. Tell them that I, the Lord, say this: “Learn a lesson about how you should obey me! 14 Rekab's son Jonadab commanded his descendants that they must not drink wine. They have obeyed his command. Even now, they have never drunk wine because their ancestor told them not to do that. But as for you, I have spoken to you very many times and you have not obeyed me! 15 I have sent my servants the prophets to warn you many times. They told you, ‘You must all stop doing wicked things. Instead, start doing the things that are right. Do not serve other gods and worship them. Then you will continue to live in this land that I gave to you and to your ancestors.’ But you did not listen to my message. You did not obey me. 16 The descendants of Rekab's son Jonadab obeyed the commands that their ancestor gave to them. But as for you, my people, you have not obeyed me.”
17 So the Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says, “Listen to me! I will soon punish the people of Judah and Jerusalem with all the things that I warned them about. I spoke to them, but they did not listen. I called out to them, but they did not answer. So now I will punish them.” ’
18 Then Jeremiah said to Rekab's descendants, ‘The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says, “You have completely obeyed the commands of your ancestor Jonadab. You have done everything that he told you to do.” 19 So the Lord Almighty, Israel's God, also says, “There will always be a male descendant of Rekab's son Jonadab who will live to serve me.” ’

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.

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.’”
