I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.

The verse 15 is found in chapter 35 of Jeremiah. God explicitly explains the contrast: the Rechabites obey the voice of their ancestor, while Judah repeatedly refuses to listen to Yahweh. Because of their faithfulness, the Rechabites receive a promise of continued presence before God. The lesson does not turn every family tradition into divine law, but uses their obedience as a mirror of Israel’s rebellion.

So habe ich auch stets zu euch gesandt alle meine Knechte, die Propheten, und lasse sagen: Bekehrt euch ein jeglicher von seinem bösen Wesen, und bessert euren Wandel und folgt nicht andern Göttern nach, ihnen zu dienen, so sollt ihr in dem Lande bleiben, welches ich euch und euren Vätern gegeben habe. Aber ihr wolltet eure Ohren nicht neigen noch mir gehorchen,
Y envié a vosotros a todos mis siervos los profetas, madrugando y enviándolos a decir: Tornaos ahora cada uno de su mal camino, y enmendad vuestras obras, y no vayáis tras dioses ajenos para servirles, y viviréis en la tierra que dí a vosotros y a vuestros padres: mas no inclinasteis vuestro oído, ni me oísteis.
Les envié a todos mis siervos los profetas, enviándolos una y otra vez, para decirles: ‘Vuélvase cada uno de su mal camino, mejoren su conducta y no sigan a otros dioses para servirles; así habitarán en la tierra que les di a ustedes y a sus padres’. Pero no prestaron atención ni me escucharon.
Je vous ai envoyé tous mes serviteurs, les prophètes, je les ai envoyés dès le matin, pour vous dire: Revenez chacun de votre mauvaise voie, amendez vos actions, n'allez pas après d'autres dieux pour les servir, et vous resterez dans le pays que j'ai donné à vous et à vos pères. Mais vous n'avez pas prêté l'oreille, vous ne m'avez pas écouté.
E vi ho mandati, del continuo, per ogni mattina, tutti i miei servitori profeti, per dirvi: Deh! convertasi ciascun di voi dalla sua via malvagia, ed ammendate i vostri fatti, e non andate dietro ad altri dii, per servirli; e voi abiterete nella terra che io ho data a voi, ed a’ padri vostri; ma voi non avete porto l’orecchio, e non mi avete ubbidito.
E vos tenho enviado todos os meus servos, os profetas, madrugando, e insistindo, e dizendo: Convertei-vos, agora, cada um do seu mau caminho, e fazei boas as vossas ações, e não sigais a outros deuses para servi-los; e assim ficareis na terra que vos dei a vós e a vossos pais; porém não inclinastes o vosso ouvido, nem me obedecestes a mim.
我一再差遣我的僕人眾先知到你們那裏去,說:『你們各人當回頭離開惡道,改正行為,不再隨從事奉別神,如此,就必住在我所賜給你們和你們祖先的地上。』只是你們不側耳而聽,也不聽我。
