And before the sons of the kindred of the Rechabites, I set pots full of wine, and cups, and said unto them, "Drink wine." But they said, "We drink no wine, for Jonadab the yea, ye shall have no vineyards: but for all your time ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live long in the land, wherein ye be strangers.' Thus have we obeyed the commandment of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father, in all that he hath charged us, and so we drink no wine all our life long: we, nor our wives, our sons, and our daughters. Neither build we any house to dwell therein, we have also among us neither vineyards, nor corn land to sow: but we dwell in tents, we obey, and do according unto all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
