Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.

The verse 7 is found in chapter 35 of Jeremiah. The Rechabites are used as an example of faithfulness to an ancestral instruction. Jonadab had ordered his descendants to abstain from wine and certain forms of settlement, and they had maintained the practice. Jeremiah contrasts their obedience to a human command with Judah’s disobedience to the commandments received from God.

und kein Haus bauen, keinen Samen säen, keinen Weinberg pflanzen noch haben, sondern sollt in Hütten wohnen euer Leben lang, auf daß ihr lange lebt in dem Lande, darin ihr wallt.
Ni edificaréis casa, ni sembraréis sementera, ni plantaréis viña, ni la tendréis: mas moraréis en tiendas todos vuestros días, para que viváis muchos días sobre la haz de la tierra donde vosotros peregrináis.
No construirán casas, no sembrarán semillas ni plantarán viñas, ni las poseerán; vivirán en tiendas todos sus días, para que vivan mucho tiempo en la tierra donde residen como extranjeros”.
et vous ne bâtirez point de maisons, vous ne sèmerez aucune semence, vous ne planterez point de vignes et vous n'en posséderez point; mais vous habiterez sous des tentes toute votre vie, afin que vous viviez longtemps dans le pays où vous êtes étrangers.
E non edificate alcuna casa, e non seminate alcuna semenza, e non piantate vigne, e non ne abbiate alcuna; anzi abitate tutti i giorni della vita vostra in tende; acciocchè viviate per lunghi giorni sopra la terra, nella quale voi siete forestieri.
Não edificareis casa, nem semeareis semente, nem plantareis vinha, nem a possuireis; mas habitareis em tendas todos os vossos dias, para que vivais muitos dias sobre a face da terra, em que vós andais peregrinando.
不可蓋房子,不可撒種,也不可栽葡萄園,連擁有都不可;但一生的年日要住帳棚,使你們的日子在寄居的地面上得以長久。』
