Jeremiah 35:14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ ‘The commandment of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons—that they should drink no wine—is surely kept. For to this day they drink none and obey their father’s commandment. Nevertheless, I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, but you would not obey Me.

¹⁵ ‘I have also sent all My servants the Prophets to you, rising up early and sending, saying, “Turn now every man from his evil way, and amend your works, and do not go after other gods, to serve them. And you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you, and to your fathers.” But you would not incline your ear, nor obey Me.

¹⁶ ‘Surely the sons of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have kept the commandment of their father, which he gave them. But this people has not obeyed Me.’
