I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?

The verse 27 is found in chapter 13 of Jeremiah. The jars filled with wine symbolize a society that will be made drunk by judgment. Jeremiah calls the king, priests, and people to humble themselves before darkness arrives. The image of the woman exposed because of her unfaithfulness again represents idolatry as spiritual adultery and announces public humiliation.

Denn ich habe gesehen deine Ehebrecherei, dein Geilheit, deine freche Hurerei, ja, deine Greuel auf Hügeln und auf Äckern. Weh dir, Jerusalem! Wann wirst du doch endlich rein werden?
Tus adulterios, tus relinchos, la maldad de tu fornicación sobre los collados: en el mismo campo vi tus abominaciones. ¡Ay de ti, Jerusalem! ¿No serás al cabo limpia? ¿hasta cuándo todavía?
Tus adulterios, tus relinchos, la infamia de tu prostitución: en las colinas, en el campo, he visto tus abominaciones. ¡Ay de ti, Jerusalén! ¿Hasta cuándo seguirás sin purificarte?».
J'ai vu tes adultères et tes hennissements, Tes criminelles prostitutions sur les collines et dans les champs, J'ai vu tes abominations. Malheur à toi, Jérusalem! Jusques à quand tarderas-tu à te purifier?
I tuoi adulterii, ed il tuo ringhiare, e l’infamia del tuo fornicare, è stata sopra i colli, per li campi; io ho vedute le tue abbominazioni. Guai a te, Gerusalemme! non ti netterai tu mai? dopo quando ancora?
Já vi as tuas abominações, e os teus adultérios, e os teus rinchos, e a enormidade da tua prostituição sobre os outeiros no campo; ai de ti, Jerusalém! Até quando ainda não te purificarás?
你在田野的山上行姦淫, 發嘶聲,謀淫亂, 這些可憎之事我都看見了。 耶路撒冷 啊,你有禍了! 你不肯潔淨 還要等到幾時呢?
