And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

The verse 16 is found in chapter 14 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah protests that false prophets promise peace and prosperity in God’s name. Yahweh responds by denouncing those prophets for speaking invented visions. The true prophet is caught between the divine message and the people’s suffering, while the final prayer acknowledges that only Yahweh can provide rain and salvation.

Und die Leute, denen sie weissagen, sollen vom Schwert und Hunger auf den Gassen zu Jerusalem hin und her liegen, daß sie niemand begraben wird, also auch ihre Weiber, Söhne und Töchter; und ich will ihre Bosheit über sie schütten.
Y el pueblo a quien profetizan, echado será en las calles de Jerusalem por hambre y por espada; y no habrá quien los entierre, ellos, y sus mujeres, y sus hijos, y sus hijas; y sobre ellos derramaré su maldad.
El pueblo al que profetizan quedará arrojado por las calles de Jerusalén a causa del hambre y de la espada. No habrá quien los entierre a ellos, a sus mujeres, a sus hijos ni a sus hijas. Derramaré sobre ellos su propia maldad.
Et ceux à qui ils prophétisent Seront étendus dans les rues de Jérusalem, Par la famine et par l'épée; Il n'y aura personne pour leur donner la sépulture, Ni à eux, ni à leurs femmes, ni à leurs fils, ni à leurs filles; Je répandrai sur eux leur méchanceté.
E il popolo, al quale hanno profetizzato, sarà gittato su per le strade di Gerusalemme, per la fame, e per la spada; e non vi sarà alcuno che seppellisca nè loro, nè le lor mogli, nè i lor figliuoli, nè le lor figliuole; ed io spanderò sopra loro la lor malvagità
E o povo a quem eles profetizam será lançado nas ruas de Jerusalém, por causa da fome e da espada; e não haverá quem os sepultem, tanto a eles, como as suas mulheres, e os seus filhos e as suas filhas; porque derramarei sobre eles a sua maldade.
聽他們說預言的百姓必因饑荒、刀劍被扔在 耶路撒冷 的街道上,無人埋葬。他們連妻子帶兒女,都是如此。我必將他們的惡倒在他們身上。』」
