¶ The .xxxv. Chapter. ¶ He propoundeth the obedience of the Rechabites, and therby confoundeth the pryde of the Iewes. The commaundem&ebar;t of Ionadab, the father of the Rechabites. He threateneth punyshment vnto the rebellious Iewes. He promyseth prosperite vnto the Rechabites, for theyr obedience vnto theyr father.

A   The wordes whyche the Lorde spake vnto Ieremy, in þe; raynge of Iehoakim the sonne of Iosiah kyng of Iuda, are these: Go vnto the house of note the Rechabites, ∧ call them out, and bringe them to the house of the Lorde into some commodyous place, and geue then wyne to dryncke. Then toke I Iazaniah the sonne of Ieremy the sonne of Habaziniah, and his brethren, ∧ all his sonnes, and the whole housholde of þe; Rechabytes: and brought them to the house of the Lorde into the closet of the chyldren of Hanan the sonne of Iegedaliah the man of God: which was by the closet of the Princes that is aboue the closet of Maasiah the s&obar;ne of Selum, which is þe; treasurer. B   And before the sonnes of the kynred of the Rechabytes, I set pottes full of wyne, and cuppes, ∧ sayde vnto them: Drincke wyne. But they sayde: we wyll dryncke no wyne for Ionadab the sonne of Rechab oure father commaunded vs, saying: ye and youre sonnes shall neuer dryncke wyne note buylde no houses, sowe no sede, plante no vynes, yee, ye shal haue no vineyardes: but for all youre tyme ye shall dwell in tentes, that ye maye lyue longe in þe; lande wherin ye be straungers.

Thus haue we obeyed the c&obar;maundem&ebar;t of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab oure father in all that he hath charged vs, ∧ so we drynke no wyne all oure lyfe longe: we, nor oure wyues, our sonnes and oure daughters. Nether builde we any house to dwell therin, we haue also amonge vs nether vineyardes, ner cornelande to sowe: but we dwell in tentes, we obeye, and do accordynge vnto all, that Ionadab oure father commaunded vs.

But now that Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came vp into þe; lande, we sayde, come, lett vs go to Ierusalem, that we maye escape the hooste of the Caldees and the Assyrians: C    and so we dwell now at Ierusalem. Then came þe; worde of þe; Lorde vnto Ieremy saying. Thus sayeth the Lord of hoostes the God of Israel: Go and tell þe; m&ebar; of Iuda and þe; inhabitours of Ierusal&ebar;: Will ye not be refourmed, to obey my wordes saieth þe; Lorde? The wordes which Ionadab the sonne of Rechab c&obar;maunded his sonnes, þt; they shulde drynke no wyne, are fast and surely kept: for vnto thys daye they dryncke no wyne, but obeye their fathers c&obar;maundement. But as for me, note I haue stand vp early, I haue spok&ebar; vnto you, ∧ geuen you earnest warnynge: ∧ yet haue ye not bene obedient vnto me. Yee, I haue sent my seruauntes, all the prophetes vnto you, I rose vp early, ∧ sent you worde, sayinge: O turne you, nowe euery m&abar; fr&obar; his wycked waye: amende youre lyues, and go not after stra&ubar;ge goddes, to worshyppe th&ebar;: that ye maye continue in the lande, which I haue geuen vnto you ∧ youre fathers, but ye wolde nether heare me, ner folowe me.

D   The chyldren of Ionadab Rechabs sonne haue stedfastly kepte their fathers comma&ubar;dement, þt; he gaue th&ebar;, but this people is not obedient vnto me. And therfore thus sayeth the Lorde of hoostes the God of Israel: Beholde, I will bringe vpon Iuda ∧ vp&obar; euery one that dwelleth in Ierusal&ebar;, all the trouble þt; I haue deuysed agaynst th&ebar;. noteFor I haue spok&ebar; vnto them, but they wold not folowe. I haue called vnto them, neuertheles they wold geue me no answere. Ieremy also spake vnto the housholde of the Rechabites: Thus sayeth the Lord of Hostes the God of Israell: For so moche as ye haue obeyed the commaundement of Ionadab youre father, and kepte all hys preceptes, and done accordyng vnto all that he hath bydd&ebar; you: Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde of Hostes, þe; God of Israel: note Ionadab the sonne of Rechab shall not fayle, but haue one out of his stocke to stande alwaye before me.
