¹⁸ And to the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Because that ye have hearkened unto the command of Jonadab your father, and ye observe all his commands, and do according to all that he commanded you;

¹³ setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'
