For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

The verse 13 is found in chapter 11 of Jeremiah. Judah and Israel have formed a conspiracy by returning to the idols of their ancestors. When judgment comes, their numerous gods will not be able to save them. The comparison with a green and beautiful olive tree shows that Israel’s destruction does not result from divine inability, but from its own unfaithfulness.

Denn so manche Stadt, so manche Götter hast du, Juda; und so manche Gassen zu Jerusalem sind, so manchen Schandaltar habt ihr aufgerichtet, dem Baal zu räuchern.
Porque según el número de tus ciudades fueron tus dioses, oh Judá; y según el número de tus calles, oh Jerusalem, pusisteis los altares de ignominia, altares para ofrecer sahumerios a Baal.
Porque tantos como tus ciudades son tus dioses, Judá, y tantos como las calles de Jerusalén son los altares que han puesto a lo vergonzoso, altares para quemar incienso a Baal.
Car tu as autant de dieux que de villes, ô Juda! Et autant Jérusalem a de rues, Autant vous avez dressé d'autels aux idoles, D'autels pour offrir de l'encens à Baal...
Perciocchè, o Giuda, tu hai avuti tanti dii, quanto è il numero delle tue città; e voi avete rizzati tanti altari alla cosa vergognosa, quanto è il numero delle strade di Gerusalemme; altari da far profumi a Baal.
Porque, segundo o número das tuas cidades, são os teus deuses, ó Judá! E, segundo o número das ruas de Jerusalém, levantastes altares à impudência, altares para queimardes incenso a Baal.
猶大 啊,你神明的數目與你城鎮的數目相等;你所築可恥的壇,就是向 巴力 燒香的壇 ,也與 耶路撒冷 街道的數目相等。
