Jeremiah 35:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 “The (A)words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are observed. So they do not drink wine to this day, for they have obeyed their father’s command. But I have spoken to you [a](B)again and again; yet you have (C)not listened to Me. 15 Also I have sent to you all My (D)servants the prophets, sending them [b]again and again, saying: ‘(E)Turn now every man from his evil way and amend your deeds, and (F)do not go after other gods to worship them. Then you will (G)dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not (H)inclined your ear or listened to Me. 16 Indeed, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have (I)observed the command of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to Me.’”’

Jeremiah 35:14-16
New International Version
14 ‘Jehonadab son of Rekab ordered his descendants not to drink wine and this command has been kept. To this day they do not drink wine, because they obey their forefather’s command.(A) But I have spoken to you again and again,(B) yet you have not obeyed(C) me. 15 Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets(D) to you. They said, “Each of you must turn(E) from your wicked ways and reform(F) your actions; do not follow other gods(G) to serve them. Then you will live in the land(H) I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you have not paid attention or listened(I) to me. 16 The descendants of Jehonadab son of Rekab have carried out the command their forefather(J) gave them, but these people have not obeyed me.’
