Jeremiah 35:12-15

12Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Go and say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, aWill you not receive instruction and listen to my words? declares the Lord. 14The command that Jonadab 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 bpersistently, but you have not listened to me. 15I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them cpersistently, saying, dTurn now every one of you from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and edo not go after other gods to serve them, and then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to you and your fathers.’ fBut you did not incline your ear or listen to me.
