"The ^(C1)words of Jonadab the son of Rechab have been followed, which he commanded his sons: not to drink wine. And they do not drink wine to this day, for they have obeyed their father's command. But I have spoken to you ^(C2)again and again, yet you have ^(C3)not listened to Me.

"Also I have sent to you all My ^(C1)servants the prophets, sending them again and again, saying: '^(C2)Turn now every person from his evil way and amend your deeds, and ^(C3)do not follow other gods to worship them. Then you will ^(C4)live in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not ^(C5)inclined your ear or listened to Me.

'Indeed, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have ^(C1)followed the command of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to Me.'"'
