Jeremiah 35:12-17

Jeremiah 35:12-17

[12] Then came the word  of the LORD  unto Jeremiah,  saying,  [13] Thus saith  of hosts,  the God  of Israel;  Go  and tell  the men  of Judah  and the inhabitants  of Jerusalem,  Will ye not receive  instruction  to hearken  to my words?  saith  [14] The words  of Jonadab  the son  of Rechab,  that he commanded  his sons  not to drink  wine,  are performed;  for unto this day  they drink  none, but obey  their father's  commandment:  notwithstanding I have spoken  unto you, rising early  and speaking;  but ye hearkened  [15] I have sent  also unto you all my servants  the prophets,  rising up early  and sending  them, saying,  Return  ye now every man  from his evil  way,  and amend  your doings,  not after  other  gods  to serve  them, and ye shall dwell in  the land  which I have given  to you and to your fathers:  but ye have not inclined  your ear,  nor hearkened  unto me. [16] Because the sons  of Jonadab  the son  of Rechab  have performed  the commandment  of their father,  which he commanded  them; but this people  hath not hearkened  unto me: [17] Therefore thus saith  the LORD  God  of hosts,  the God  of Israel;  Behold, I will bring  upon Judah  and upon all the inhabitants  of Jerusalem  all the evil  that I have pronounced  unto them, but they have not heard;  and I have called  unto them, but they have not answered.
