Jeremiah 35:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 35:12

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, ‘Come, let us ^ago to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans and for fear of the army of the Syrians.’ So we dwell at Jerusalem.”

12 Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying,

13 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not ^areceive instruction to obey My words?” says the Lord.

14 “The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, and obey their father’s commandment. ^aBut although I have spoken to you, ^brising early and speaking, you did not¹ obey Me.

15 I have also sent to you all My ^aservants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ^b‘Turn now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them; then you will ^cdwell in the land which I have given you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me.
