5 Je mis devant les fils de la maison des Récabites des coupes pleines de vin, et des calices, et je leur dis: Buvez du vin!
6 Mais ils répondirent: Nous ne buvons pas de vin; car Jonadab, fils de Récab, notre père, nous a donné cet ordre: Vous ne boirez jamais de vin, ni vous, ni vos fils;

8 Nous obéissons à tout ce que nous a prescrit Jonadab, fils de Récab, notre père: nous ne buvons pas de vin pendant toute notre vie, nous, nos femmes, nos fils et nos filles;
9 nous ne bâtissons point de maisons pour nos demeures, et nous ne possédons ni vignes, ni champs, ni terres ensemencées;
