and don't go after other gods to serve them, and you shall 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.
035:016 Because 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;
035:017 therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God
of Israel: 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.
035:018 Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Yahweh
of Armies, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the
commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts,
and done according to all that he commanded you;
035:019 therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Jonadab the
son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.
036:001 It happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah,
king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
036:002 Take a scroll of a book, and write therein all the words
that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah,
and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you,
from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
036:003 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil
which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every
man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity
and their sin.
036:004 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch
wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yahweh,
which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
036:005 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I can't go
into the house of Yahweh:
036:006 therefore go you, and read in the scroll, which you have written
from my mouth, the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people
in Yahweh's house on the fast day; and also you shall read
them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
036:007 It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh,
and will return everyone from his evil way; for great is the anger
and the wrath that Yahweh has pronounced against this people.
036:008 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah
the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words
of Yahweh in Yahweh's house.
036:009 Now it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah,
king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people
in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the cities
of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
