Jeremiah 35:5-7
International Standard Version
5 I put containers full of wine and cups in front of the members of the Rechabite clan[a] and told them, “Drink the wine!”
6 But they said, “We won’t drink wine, because our ancestor, Rechab’s son Jonadab commanded us: ‘You and your descendants are never to drink wine! 7 You aren’t to build houses, you aren’t to sow seeds, and you aren’t to plant vineyards, or own them. Instead, you are to live in tents all your lives,[b] so you will enjoy a long life in the land where you reside.’[c]
