Jeremiah 42:17

¹⁵And I sent to you my servants the prophets, saying, Turn ye every one from his evil way, and amend your practices, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: but ye inclined not your ears, and hearkened not.

¹⁶But the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command of their father; but this people has not hearkened to me.

— Jeremiah 42:17 —

¹⁸Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have hearkened to the command of their father, to do as their father commanded them:

¹⁹there shall never be wanting a man of the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand before my face while the earth remains.
