12 and to be word LORD to(wards) Jeremiah to/for to say

Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

13 thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel to go: went and to say to/for man Judah and to/for to dwell Jerusalem not to take: recieve discipline: instruction to/for to hear: obey to(wards) word my utterance LORD

“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive correction and listen to my words? —this is Yahweh's declaration.

14 to arise: establish [obj] word Jonadab son: child Rechab which to command [obj] son: child his to/for lest to drink wine and not to drink till [the] day: today [the] this for to hear: obey [obj] commandment father their and I to speak: speak to(wards) you to rise and to speak: speak and not to hear: hear to(wards) me

The words of Jonadab son of Rekab that he gave to his sons as a command, not to drink any wine, have been observed to this very day. They have obeyed their ancestor's command. But as for me, I myself have been making persistent proclamations to you, but you do not listen to me.

15 and to send: depart to(wards) you [obj] all servant/slave my [the] prophet to rise and to send: depart to/for to say to return: repent please man: anyone from way: conduct his [the] bad: evil and be good deed your and not to go: follow after God another to/for to serve: minister them and to dwell to(wards) [the] land: soil which to give: give to/for you and to/for father your and not to stretch [obj] ear your and not to hear: hear to(wards) me

I sent out to you all my servants, the prophets. I was persistent in sending them to say, 'Let each person turn from his wicked way and do good deeds; let no one walk any longer after other gods and worship them. Instead, come back to the land that I gave to you and your ancestors.' Yet you will not listen to me or pay attention to me.

16 for to arise: establish son: child Jonadab son: child Rechab [obj] commandment father their which to command them and [the] people [the] this not to hear: obey to(wards) me

For the descendants of Jonadab son of Rekab have observed the commands of their ancestor that he gave them, but this people refuses to listen to me.”'
