¹In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

KJVAnd it came to pass in the fourth^H7243 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, that this word^H1697 came unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H559^(H8800),

² “Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day.

KJVTake^H3947^(H8798) thee a roll^H4039 of a book^H5612, and write^H3789^(H8804) therein all the words^H1697 that I have spoken^H1696^(H8765) unto thee against Israel^H3478, and against Judah^H3063, and against all the nations^H1471, from the day^H3117 I spake^H1696^(H8765) unto thee, from the days^H3117 of Josiah^H2977, even unto this day^H3117.

³ It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

KJVIt may be that the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 will hear^H8085^(H8799) all the evil^H7451 which I purpose^H2803^(H8802) to do^H6213^(H8800) unto them; that they may return^H7725^(H8799) every man^H376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870; that I may forgive^H5545^(H8804) their iniquity^H5771 and their sin^H2403.

⁴ Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all Yahweh’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.

KJVThen Jeremiah^H3414 called^H7121^(H8799) Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374: and Baruch^H1263 wrote^H3789^(H8799) from the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414 all the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he had spoken^H1696^(H8765) unto him, upon a roll^H4039 of a book^H5612.

⁵ Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I can’t go into Yahweh’s house.

KJVAnd Jeremiah^H3414 commanded^H6680^(H8762) Baruch^H1263, saying^H559^(H8800), I am shut up^H6113^(H8803); I cannot^H3201^(H8799) go^H935^(H8800) into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068:

⁶ Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, Yahweh’s words, in the ears of the people in Yahweh’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.

KJVTherefore go^H935^(H8804) thou, and read^H7121^(H8804) in the roll^H4039, which thou hast written^H3789^(H8804) from my mouth^H6310, the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 in the ears^H241 of the people^H5971 in the LORD'S^H3068 house^H1004 upon the fasting^H6685 day^H3117: and also thou shalt read^H7121^(H8799) them in the ears^H241 of all Judah^H3063 that come out^H935^(H8802) of their cities^H5892.

⁷ It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh, and will each return from his evil way; for Yahweh has pronounced great anger and wrath against this people.”

KJVIt may be they will present^H5307^(H8799) their supplication^H8467 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, and will return^H7725^(H8799) every one^H376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870: for great^H1419 is the anger^H639 and the fury^H2534 that the LORD^H3068 hath pronounced^H1696^(H8765) against this people^H5971.

⁸ Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book Yahweh’s words in Yahweh’s house.

KJVAnd Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374 did^H6213^(H8799) according to all that Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 commanded^H6680^(H8765) him, reading^H7121^(H8800) in the book^H5612 the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 in the LORD'S^H3068 house^H1004.

⁹ Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.

KJVAnd it came to pass in the fifth^H2549 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, in the ninth^H8671 month^H2320, that they proclaimed^H7121^(H8804) a fast^H6685 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068 to all the people^H5971 in Jerusalem^H3389, and to all the people^H5971 that came^H935^(H8802) from the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 unto Jerusalem^H3389.

¹⁰ Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in Yahweh’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house, in the ears of all the people.

KJVThen read^H7121^(H8799) Baruch^H1263 in the book^H5612 the words^H1697 of Jeremiah^H3414 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, in the chamber^H3957 of Gemariah^H1587 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227 the scribe^H5608^(H8802), in the higher^H5945 court^H2691, at the entry^H6607 of the new^H2319 gate^H8179 of the LORD'S^H3068 house^H1004, in the ears^H241 of all the people^H5971.

¹¹ When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all Yahweh’s words,

KJVWhen Michaiah^H4321 the son^H1121 of Gemariah^H1587, the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, had heard^H8085^(H8799) out of the book^H5612 all the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068,

¹² he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

KJVThen he went down^H3381^(H8799) into the king's^H4428 house^H1004, into the scribe's^H5608^(H8802) chamber^H3957: and, lo, all the princes^H8269 sat^H3427^(H8802) there, even Elishama^H476 the scribe^H5608^(H8802), and Delaiah^H1806 the son^H1121 of Shemaiah^H8098, and Elnathan^H494 the son^H1121 of Achbor^H5907, and Gemariah^H1587 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, and Zedekiah^H6667 the son^H1121 of Hananiah^H2608, and all the princes^H8269.

¹³ Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

KJVThen Michaiah^H4321 declared^H5046^(H8686) unto them all the words^H1697 that he had heard^H8085^(H8804), when Baruch^H1263 read^H7121^(H8800) the book^H5612 in the ears^H241 of the people^H5971.

¹⁴ Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.

KJVTherefore all the princes^H8269 sent^H7971^(H8799) Jehudi^H3065 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418, the son^H1121 of Shelemiah^H8018, the son^H1121 of Cushi^H3570, unto Baruch^H1263, saying^H559^(H8800), Take^H3947^(H8798) in thine hand^H3027 the roll^H4039 wherein thou hast read^H7121^(H8804) in the ears^H241 of the people^H5971, and come^H3212^(H8798). So Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374 took^H3947^(H8799) the roll^H4039 in his hand^H3027, and came^H935^(H8799) unto them.

¹⁵ They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.

KJVAnd they said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Sit down^H3427^(H8798) now, and read^H7121^(H8798) it in our ears^H241. So Baruch^H1263 read^H7121^(H8799) it in their ears^H241.

¹⁶ Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”

KJVNow it came to pass, when they had heard^H8085^(H8800) all the words^H1697, they were afraid^H6342^(H8804) both^H413 one^H376 and other^H7453, and said^H559^(H8799) unto Baruch^H1263, We will surely^H5046^(H8687) tell^H5046^(H8686) the king^H4428 of all these words^H1697.

¹⁷ They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”

KJVAnd they asked^H7592^(H8804) Baruch^H1263, saying^H559^(H8800), Tell^H5046^(H8685) us now, How didst thou write^H3789^(H8804) all these words^H1697 at his mouth^H6310?

¹⁸ Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”

KJVThen Baruch^H1263 answered^H559^(H8799) them, He pronounced^H7121^(H8799) all these words^H1697 unto me with his mouth^H6310, and I wrote^H3789^(H8802) them with ink^H1773 in the book^H5612.

¹⁹ Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) the princes^H8269 unto Baruch^H1263, Go^H3212^(H8798), hide^H5641^(H8734) thee, thou and Jeremiah^H3414; and let no man^H376 know^H3045^(H8799) where^H375 ye be.

²⁰ They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king.

KJVAnd they went in^H935^(H8799) to the king^H4428 into the court^H2691, but they laid up^H6485^(H8689) the roll^H4039 in the chamber^H3957 of Elishama^H476 the scribe^H5608^(H8802), and told^H5046^(H8686) all the words^H1697 in the ears^H241 of the king^H4428.

²¹ So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king.

KJVSo the king^H4428 sent^H7971^(H8799) Jehudi^H3065 to fetch^H3947^(H8800) the roll^H4039: and he took^H3947^(H8799) it out of Elishama^H476 the scribe's^H5608^(H8802) chamber^H3957. And Jehudi^H3065 read^H7121^(H8799) it in the ears^H241 of the king^H4428, and in the ears^H241 of all the princes^H8269 which stood^H5975^(H8802) beside^H5921 the king^H4428.

²² Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.

KJVNow the king^H4428 sat^H3427^(H8802) in the winterhouse^H1004^H2779 in the ninth^H8671 month^H2320: and there was a fire on the hearth^H254 burning^H1197^(H8794) before^H6440 him.

²³ When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

KJVAnd it came to pass, that when Jehudi^H3065 had read^H7121^(H8800) three^H7969 or four^H702 leaves^H1817, he cut^H7167^(H8799) it with the penknife^H8593^H5608^(H8802), and cast^H7993^(H8687) it into the fire^H784 that was on the hearth^H254, until all the roll^H4039 was consumed^H8552^(H8800) in the fire^H784 that was on the hearth^H254.

²⁴ The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.

KJVYet they were not afraid^H6342^(H8804), nor rent^H7167^(H8804) their garments^H899, neither the king^H4428, nor any of his servants^H5650 that heard^H8085^(H8802) all these words^H1697.

²⁵ Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.

KJVNevertheless Elnathan^H494 and Delaiah^H1806 and Gemariah^H1587 had made intercession^H6293^(H8689) to the king^H4428 that he would not burn^H8313^(H8800) the roll^H4039: but he would not hear^H8085^(H8804) them.

²⁶ The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh hid them.

KJVBut the king^H4428 commanded^H6680^(H8762) Jerahmeel^H3396 the son^H1121 of Hammelech^H4429, and Seraiah^H8304 the son^H1121 of Azriel^H5837, and Shelemiah^H8018 the son^H1121 of Abdeel^H5655, to take^H3947^(H8800) Baruch^H1263 the scribe^H5608^(H8802) and Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030: but the LORD^H3068 hid^H5641^(H8686) them.

²⁷ Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

KJVThen the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to Jeremiah^H3414, after^H310 that the king^H4428 had burned^H8313^(H8800) the roll^H4039, and the words^H1697 which Baruch^H1263 wrote^H3789^(H8804) at the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H559^(H8800),

²⁸ “Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.

KJVTake^H3947^(H8798) thee again^H7725^(H8798) another^H312 roll^H4039, and write^H3789^(H8798) in it all the former^H7223 words^H1697 that were in the first^H7223 roll^H4039, which Jehoiakim^H3079 the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 hath burned^H8313^(H8804).

²⁹ Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Yahweh says: “You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal”?’”

KJVAnd thou shalt say^H559^(H8799) to Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068; Thou hast burned^H8313^(H8804) this roll^H4039, saying^H559^(H8800), Why hast thou written^H3789^(H8804) therein, saying^H559^(H8800), The king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 shall certainly^H935^(H8800) come^H935^(H8799) and destroy^H7843^(H8689) this land^H776, and shall cause to cease^H7673^(H8689) from thence man^H120 and beast^H929?

³⁰ Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

KJVTherefore thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063; He shall have none to sit^H3427^(H8802) upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732: and his dead body^H5038 shall be cast out^H7993^(H8716) in the day^H3117 to the heat^H2721, and in the night^H3915 to the frost^H7140.

³¹ I will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t listen.”’”

KJVAnd I will punish^H6485^(H8804) him and his seed^H2233 and his servants^H5650 for their iniquity^H5771; and I will bring^H935^(H8689) upon them, and upon the inhabitants^H3427^(H8802) of Jerusalem^H3389, and upon the men^H376 of Judah^H3063, all the evil^H7451 that I have pronounced^H1696^(H8765) against them; but they hearkened^H8085^(H8804) not.

³² Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.

KJVThen took^H3947^(H8804) Jeremiah^H3414 another^H312 roll^H4039, and gave^H5414^(H8799) it to Baruch^H1263 the scribe^H5608^(H8802), the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374; who wrote^H3789^(H8799) therein from the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414 all the words^H1697 of the book^H5612 which Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 had burned^H8313^(H8804) in the fire^H784: and there were added^H3254^(H8738) besides unto them many^H7227 like^H1992 words^H1697.

² “Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into Yahweh’s house, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.”

KJVGo^H1980^(H8800) unto the house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397, and speak^H1696^(H8765) unto them, and bring^H935^(H8689) them into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, into one^H259 of the chambers^H3957, and give them wine^H3196 to drink^H8248^(H8689).

³ Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, with his brothers, all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

KJVThen I took^H3947^(H8799) Jaazaniah^H2970 the son^H1121 of Jeremiah^H3414, the son^H1121 of Habaziniah^H2262, and his brethren^H251, and all his sons^H1121, and the whole house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397;

⁴ and I brought them into Yahweh’s house, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the princes, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

KJVAnd I brought^H935^(H8686) them into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, into the chamber^H3957 of the sons^H1121 of Hanan^H2605, the son^H1121 of Igdaliah^H3012, a man^H376 of God^H430, which was by^H681 the chamber^H3957 of the princes^H8269, which was above^H4605 the chamber^H3957 of Maaseiah^H4641 the son^H1121 of Shallum^H7967, the keeper^H8104^(H8802) of the door^H5592:

⁵ I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “Drink wine!”

⁶ But they said, “We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink no wine, neither you nor your children, forever.

KJVBut they said^H559^(H8799), We will drink^H8354^(H8799) no wine^H3196: for Jonadab^H3122 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 our father^H1 commanded^H6680^(H8765) us, saying^H559^(H8800), Ye shall drink^H8354^(H8799) no wine^H3196, neither ye, nor your sons^H1121 for^H5704 ever^H5769:

KJVNeither shall ye build^H1129^(H8799) house^H1004, nor sow^H2232^(H8799) seed^H2233, nor plant^H5193^(H8799) vineyard^H3754, nor have any: but all your days^H3117 ye shall dwell^H3427^(H8799) in tents^H168; that ye may live^H2421^(H8799) many^H7227 days^H3117 in^H6440 the land^H127 where ye be strangers^H1481^(H8802).

⁸ We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;

KJVThus have we obeyed^H8085^(H8799) the voice^H6963 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 our father^H1 in all that he hath charged^H6680^(H8765) us, to drink^H8354^(H8800) no wine^H3196 all our days^H3117, we, our wives^H802, our sons^H1121, nor our daughters^H1323;

KJVBut it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 came up^H5927^(H8800) into the land^H776, that we said^H559^(H8799), Come^H935^(H8798), and let us go^H935^(H8799) to Jerusalem^H3389 for fear^H6440 of the army^H2428 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and for fear^H6440 of the army^H2428 of the Syrians^H758: so we dwell^H3427^(H8799) at Jerusalem^H3389.

¹² Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,

KJVThen came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H559^(H8800),

¹³ “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?” says Yahweh.

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Go^H1980^(H8800) and tell^H559^(H8804) the men^H376 of Judah^H3063 and the inhabitants^H3427^(H8802) of Jerusalem^H3389, Will ye not receive^H3947^(H8799) instruction^H4148 to hearken^H8085^(H8800) to my words^H1697? saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068.

¹⁴ “The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment; but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and you have not listened to me.

KJVThe words^H1697 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394, that he commanded^H6680^(H8765) his sons^H1121 not to drink^H8354^(H8800) wine^H3196, are performed^H6965^(H8717); for unto this day^H3117 they drink^H8354^(H8804) none, but obey^H8085^(H8804) their father's^H1 commandment^H4687: notwithstanding I have spoken^H1696^(H8765) unto you, rising early^H7925^(H8687) and speaking^H1696^(H8763); but ye hearkened^H8085^(H8804) not unto me.

¹⁵ I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Every one of you must return now from his evil way, amend your doings, and don’t go after other gods to serve them. Then you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers;’ but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.

KJVI have sent^H7971^(H8799) also unto you all my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, rising up early^H7925^(H8687) and sending^H7971^(H8800) them, saying^H559^(H8800), Return^H7725^(H8798) ye now every man^H376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870, and amend^H3190^(H8685) your doings^H4611, and go^H3212^(H8799) not after^H310 other^H312 gods^H430 to serve^H5647^(H8800) them, and ye shall dwell in^H3427^(H8798) the land^H127 which I have given^H5414^(H8804) to you and to your fathers^H1: but ye have not inclined^H5186^(H8689) your ear^H241, nor hearkened^H8085^(H8804) unto me.

¹⁶ The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to me.”’

KJVBecause the sons^H1121 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 have performed^H6965^(H8689) the commandment^H4687 of their father^H1, which he commanded^H6680^(H8765) them; but this people^H5971 hath not hearkened^H8085^(H8804) unto me:

¹⁷ “Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.’”

KJVTherefore thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will bring^H935^(H8688) upon Judah^H3063 and upon all the inhabitants^H3427^(H8802) of Jerusalem^H3389 all the evil^H7451 that I have pronounced^H1696^(H8765) against them: because I have spoken^H1696^(H8765) unto them, but they have not heard^H8085^(H8804); and I have called^H7121^(H8799) unto them, but they have not answered^H6030^(H8804).

¹⁸ Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,’

KJVAnd Jeremiah^H3414 said^H559^(H8804) unto the house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Because ye have obeyed^H8085^(H8804) the commandment^H4687 of Jonadab^H3082 your father^H1, and kept^H8104^(H8799) all his precepts^H4687, and done^H6213^(H8799) according unto all that he hath commanded^H6680^(H8765) you:

¹⁹ therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jonadab the son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before me forever.’”

KJVTherefore thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Jonadab^H3122 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 shall not want^H3772^(H8735) a man^H376 to stand^H5975^(H8802) before^H6440 me for ever^H3117.
