The verse 11 is found in chapter 16 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah receives exceptional commands: not to marry, not to participate in mourning, and not to participate in feasts. His own life becomes a sign of the imminence of judgment. Exile will be so radical that it will alter the normal structures of family, mourning, and celebration.

sollst du ihnen sagen: Darum daß eure Väter mich verlassen haben, spricht der HERR, und andern Göttern gefolgt sind, ihnen gedient und sie angebetet, mich aber verlassen und mein Gesetz nicht gehalten haben
Entonces les dirás: Porque vuestros padres me dejaron, dice Jehová, y anduvieron en pos de dioses ajenos, y los sirvieron, y a ellos se encorvaron, y me dejaron a mí, y no guardaron mi ley;
Les responderás: “Porque sus antepasados me abandonaron —declara Jehová—, siguieron a otros dioses, los sirvieron y se postraron ante ellos. Me abandonaron y no guardaron mi ley.
Alors tu leur répondras: Vos pères m'ont abandonné, dit l'Eternel, Ils sont allés après d'autres dieux, Ils les ont servis et se sont prosternés devant eux; Ils m'ont abandonné, et n'ont point observé ma loi.
E tu dirai loro: Perciocchè i vostri padri mi hanno lasciato, dice il Signore; e sono iti dietro ad altri dii, e li hanno serviti, ed adorati; ed hanno abbandonato me, e non hanno osservata la mia Legge.
Então lhes dirás: Porquanto vossos pais me deixaram, diz o SENHOR, e se foram após outros deuses, e os serviram, e se inclinaram diante deles, e a mim me deixaram, e a minha lei não a guardaram.
你就對他們說:『因為你們祖先離棄了我,隨從別神,事奉敬拜它們,卻離棄我,不遵守我的律法。這是耶和華說的。
