Jeremiah 35:15
"“The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment; but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and you have not listened to me."
Key Reflection
This passage contrasts the obedience of Jonadab's descendants with Israel's lack thereof. While Jonadab's sons diligently followed his commandment to abstain from wine, reflecting their commitment and trust in his word, Israel failed to heed the prophet's repeated warnings despite early morning calls for repentance.
