Jeremiah 35:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ I put containers full of wine and cups in front of the members of the Rechabite clan^[a] and told them, “Drink the wine!”

⁶ But they said, “We won’t drink wine, because our ancestor, Rechab’s son Jonadab commanded us: ‘You and your descendants are never to drink wine! ⁷ You aren’t to build houses, you aren’t to sow seeds, and you aren’t to plant vineyards, or own them. Instead, you are to live in tents all your lives,^[b] so you will enjoy a long life in the land where you reside.’^[c]
