Jeremiah 35:8 in context

  1. 6But 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:
  2. 7neither 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 wherein ye sojourn.
  3. 8And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
  4. 9nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
  5. 10but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
