Jeremiah 35:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Then I set bowls full of wine before the Rechabites, along with several cups, and I said to them, “Have some.”

⁶ But they refused: “We don’t drink wine because our ancestor Jonadab, Rechab’s son, commanded us, ‘You and your children are never to drink wine; ⁷ nor are you to build or own houses or plant gardens and vineyards; rather, you are always to dwell in tents so you may live a long time in the fertile land you pass through.’
