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.(Jeremiah 35:5)

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:(Jeremiah 35:6)

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.(Jeremiah 35:7)

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;

Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:(Jeremiah 35:9)

But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.(Jeremiah 35:10)

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.(Jeremiah 35:11)
