Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.

The verse 8 is found in chapter 11 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah is commanded to proclaim the words of the covenant and recall the responsibility established since the days of the exodus. Covenant obedience is not a novelty introduced by the prophet, but Israel’s historical obligation. The people, however, refuse to listen and confirm the curse announced because of their disobedience.

Aber sie gehorchten nicht, neigten auch ihre Ohren nicht; sondern ein jeglicher ging nach seines bösen Herzens Gedünken. Darum habe ich auch über sie kommen lassen alle Worte dieses Bundes, den ich geboten habe zu tun, und nach dem sie doch nicht getan haben.
Mas no oyeron, ni inclinaron su oído, antes se fueron cada uno tras la imaginación de su corazón malvado: por tanto, traeré sobre ellos todas las palabras de este pacto, el cual mandé que cumpliesen, y no lo cumplieron.
Pero no escucharon ni inclinaron el oído; cada uno siguió la terquedad de su malvado corazón. Por eso hice caer sobre ellos todas las palabras de este pacto que les ordené cumplir y no cumplieron”».
Mais ils n'ont pas écouté, ils n'ont pas prêté l'oreille, Ils ont suivi chacun les penchants de leur mauvais coeur; Alors j'ai accompli sur eux toutes les paroles de cette alliance, Que je leur avais ordonné d'observer et qu'ils n'ont point observée.
Ma essi non l’hanno ascoltata, e non hanno porto l’orecchio loro, e son camminati ciascuno secondo la durezza del cuor suo malvagio; laonde io ho fatte venir sopra loro tutte le parole di questo patto, il quale io avea lor comandato di osservare; ma non l’hanno osservato.
Mas não ouviram, nem inclinaram os seus ouvidos, antes andaram cada um conforme o propósito do seu coração malvado; por isso trouxe sobre eles todas as palavras desta aliança que lhes mandei que cumprissem, porém não cumpriram.
他們卻不聽從,也不側耳而聽,竟隨從自己頑梗的惡心去行。我就使這約中一切詛咒的話臨到他們身上;這約是我吩咐他們遵行的,他們卻不遵行。』」
