You must change the way you act. Do not worship other gods. Do not serve them. Then you will live in the land. I gave it to you and your people of long ago.’ But you have not paid any attention. You have not listened to me.The children of Jehonadab, the son of Rekab, have obeyed the command Jehonadab gave them long ago.

But they did not answer.”Then Jeremiah spoke to the members of the family line of Rekab. Jeremiah said,“ The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel.
