*
The command which Jon '
adab the son of Rechab gave to his sons ,
to drink no wine ,
has been kept ;
and they drink none to this day ,
for they have obeyed their father '
s command .
I have spoken to you persistently ,
but you have not listened to me .
*
I have sent to you all my servants the prophets ,
sending them persistently ,
saying , `
Turn now every one of you from his evil way ,
and amend your doings ,
and do not go after other gods to serve them ,
and then you shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers .'
But you did not incline your ear or listen to me .
*
The sons of Jon '
adab the son of Rechab have kept the command which their father gave them ,
but this people has not obeyed me .
