God's reward to the Rechabits, to always have someone in their household who will serve God, can be contrasted with what God is promising is coming on Jerusalem, destruction. God is reinforcing the teaching that obedience brings blessing. We may not like it and want to argue that God isn't fair, but that is about as foolish as saying gravity isn't fair when you jump off a building. If you do something wrong, there are consequences whether you like it or not.
