Jeremiah 35:14
Assamese - 2019 (ইণ্ডিয়ান ৰিভাইচ ভাৰচন (IRV) আচামিচ - 2019)
ৰেখবৰ পুত্ৰ যোনাদবে দ্ৰাক্ষাৰস পান নকৰিবলৈ তেওঁৰ সন্তান সকলক যি বাক্যৰে আজ্ঞা কৰিছিল, তেওঁৰ সেই বাক্য আজিলৈকে সিদ্ধ আছে। তেওঁলোকে তেওঁলোকৰ পূৰ্বপুৰুষৰ আজ্ঞা মানে; কিন্তু মই অতি প্ৰভাতে উঠি তোমালোকক কৈ আছোঁ, তথাপি তোমালোকে মোৰ বাক্য নামানা।
What Does This Mean?
Jeremiah talks about how the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab obeyed their father's command not to drink wine. In contrast, God's people did not obey God's commands despite God's repeated attempts to speak to them.
Explained for Children
Imagine if your dad asked you not to eat candy, and you followed that rule every day. That's what the Rechabites did with wine. But when God asked His people to do things, they didn't listen even though He kept asking.
Historical Background
This verse is from the book of Jeremiah, written by the prophet Jeremiah around 600 BC. It was a time when the kingdom of Judah was under threat from Babylon, and Jeremiah was trying to convince the people to follow God's commands.
Living It Out Today
In modern life, imagine a manager at work giving clear instructions that are ignored by the team. The manager might feel frustrated, similar to how God felt when the Israelites ignored His commands.
