18 Jeremias disse à comunidade dos recabitas: “Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, Deus de Israel: ‘Vocês têm obedecido àquilo que o seu antepassado Jonadabe ordenou; têm cumprido todas as suas instruções e têm feito tudo o que ele ordenou’.

Jeremias 35:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 35:18

And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites
To the family of them, to those that were with him in the temple, and while they were there; and what he said to them, which is as follows, was by the order and direction of the Lord: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
he uses the same titles, when speaking to them, as to the Jews, expressive of his sovereignty, power, and grace: because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father;
that particular command concerning not drinking wine: and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he hath
commanded you;
all the rest, as well as that; though they were many, they took notice of them, and observed them; they kept them in their minds and memory, and made them the rule of their actions, and conformed to them in all respects.

Jeremias 35:18 In-Context

16 Os descendentes de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, cumprem a ordem que o seu antepassado lhes deu, mas este povo não me obedece”.

17 Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, Deus de Israel: “Trarei sobre Judá e sobre todos os habitantes de Jerusalém toda a desgraça da qual os adverti; porque falei a eles, mas não me ouviram, chamei-os, mas não me responderam”.

18 Jeremias disse à comunidade dos recabitas: “Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, Deus de Israel: ‘Vocês têm obedecido àquilo que o seu antepassado Jonadabe ordenou; têm cumprido todas as suas instruções e têm feito tudo o que ele ordenou’.

19 Por isso, assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, Deus de Israel: ‘Jamais faltará a Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, um descendente que me sirva’.”
