Then Jeremiah spoke to the descendants of Rechab. ‘The great and powerful Lord, the God of Israel, says, “You have obeyed the rules of your ancestor Jonadab. You have done everything that he asked you to do.” So the great and powerful Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, “Jonadab, son of Rechab, will always have a male descendant to be my servant. This promise is for all time.” ’ Jeremiah 35:18-19
耶利米對利甲族的人說：「萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：因你們聽從你們先祖約拿達的吩咐，謹守他的一切誡命，照他所吩咐你們的去行， 所以萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：利甲的兒子約拿達必永不缺人侍立在我面前。」 耶利米書 35:18-19
