Jeremiah 35:1-19 The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
The Word from the Lord, [that] came to Jeremiah, [during] the days of Jehoiakim, [Josiah's] son, [Judah's] king, saying, Go to the house of the Rechabites, & speak to them, & bring them into the house of the Lord, & into 1 of the [rooms,] & give them wine to drink. |
Then, I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, [who was] [Habaziniah's] son, & his brethren, & all his sons, & the whole house of the Rechabites. And I brought them into the [Lord's] house, into the [room] of the sons of Hanan, [who was] [Igdaliah's] son, a man of God, [who] was by the [room] of the princes, [that] was above the [room] of Maaseiah, [Shallum's] son, the [doorkeeper.] |
And I [put in front of] the sons of the house, [a.k.a. family,] of Rechabites, pots full of wine, & cups. And I said to them, You, drink the wine. But they said, We [won't] drink [any] wine: for Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, our [forefather] commanded us, saying, You shall [not] drink [any] wine, neither you, nor your sons forever. |
Neither shall you build [a] house, nor sow seed, nor plant [a] vineyard, nor have any [of these.] But all your days, you shall [live] in tents; [so] that you may live many days in the land where you [are] strangers. |
[Like this,] we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, our [forefather,] in all that he [has commanded] us. We, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters [don't] drink [any] wine all our [lives.] Nor [do we] build houses for us to [live] in. Neither [do] we have: [vineyards, fields,] nor seed. |
But we have dwelt in tents, & have obeyed, & done, according to all that Jonadab, our [forefather] commanded us. But it [happened,] when Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, came up into the land, that we said, Come, & let's go to Jerusalem, for fear of the: [Chaldeans'] & [Syrians'] army. So we dwell [in] Jerusalem. |
Then, the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, [says this;] Go, & tell the men of Judah, & the [residents] of Jerusalem, Won't you receive instruction, to [pay attention] to My Words? [says] the Lord. |
[Jeremiah 28:10-13 Then, Hananiah, the prophet, took the yoke, [a.k.a. wooden harness,] from off the prophet, Jeremiah's neck, & [broke] it. And Hananiah [spoke] in the presence of all the people, saying, The Lord [says this,] Even [like this,] I will break the yoke, [a.k.a. control,] of Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king, [off] from the [necks] of all nations within the space of 2 full years. And the prophet, Jeremiah, went [on] his way. After the prophet, Hananiah, had broken the yoke off from the neck of Jeremiah, then, the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, saying, Go, & tell Hananiah, saying, The Lord [says this;] You [have] broken the yokes of wood; but you [shall] make [in their place,] yokes of iron for them.] |
The words of Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, [who] commanded his sons not to drink wine, are [carried out.] For [until] this day, they drink none, but obey their father's [command. However,] I have spoken to you, rising early [to warn you,] & [spoke,] but you [haven't paid attention] to Me. |
I have also sent to you all My servants, the prophets, rising up early, [to warn you,] & [sent] them, saying, Every man, return [yourselves] from his evil [ways & change] your [actions] & [don't] go after other gods, to serve them. And you shall dwell in the land, [that] I have given to you & to your [forefathers.] But you haven't [leaned] your ear, nor have you [listened] to Me. |
[Jeremiah 18:11-12 Therefore, go now to speak to the men of Judah & to the [residents] of Jerusalem, saying, The Lord says [this; Look,] I [plan calamity] against you. Now, everyone return [yourselves] from his evil [ways] & make your ways & your [actions] good. And they said, There is no hope. But we will [follow] after our own [plots] & everyone will do the imagination of his evil heart.] |
[Since,] the sons of Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, have [carried out] the [command] of their [forefather, that] he commanded them, but [these] people haven't [paid attention] to Me: therefore, the Lord God of Hosts, the God of Israel, [says this; Look,] I will bring upon Judah, & the [residents] of Jerusalem, all the [disaster,] that I have [declared] against them; because I have spoken to them, but they haven't heard. And I have called to them, but they haven't answered. |
And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel [says this;] Because you have obeyed the [command] of Jonadab, your [forefather,] & have kept all his precepts, [a.k.a. commandments,] & [have] done according to all that he [has] commanded you: |
Therefore, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, [says this;] Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, shall not [lack] a man to stand before Me forever. |
[Revelation 7:15-17 Therefore, [those who] are before the throne of God, & serve Him day & night in His temple, & He, [Who sits] on the throne shall dwell among them. *They shall no [longer] hunger, & thirst anymore. Neither shall the sun, nor any heat [scorch] them. *For the Lamb, [Who] is in the [middle] of the throne shall feed them, & shall lead them to Fountains of Living Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.] |
