Excerpt from Remains of the Late Reverend Richard Hurrell Froude, M. A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, Vol. 2 of 2
The measure of their iniquity was now full. Yet even after all this, the Lord did not think fit to pronounce this final sentence of condemnation un accompanied by a concluding expostulation. Before the prophet Jeremiah was commissioned to utter their irrevocable doom, the Lord said unto him, Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, and give them wine to drink. Then Jeremiah took Jaazaniah and his brethren and his sons and the whole house of the Rechabites, and set before them pots full of wine, and said unto them, Drink ye. But they said unto him, We will drink no wine; for J o nadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye nor your sons for ever.
