Jeremiah 35:5-7

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁵ Then I set before the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, “Drink wine.” ⁶ But they answered, “We will drink no wine, for ^(A)Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, ‘You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons for ever. ⁷ You shall not build a house; you shall not sow seed; you shall not plant or have a vineyard; but you shall live in tents all your days, ^(B)that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.’
