And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:

The verse 12 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.

und ihr noch ärger tut als eure Väter. Denn siehe, ein jeglicher lebt nach seines bösen Herzens Gedünken, daß er mir nicht gehorche.
Y vosotros habéis hecho peor que vuestros padres; porque he aquí que vosotros camináis cada uno tras la imaginación de su malvado corazón, no oyéndome a mí.
Ustedes han hecho peor que sus antepasados. Cada uno sigue la terquedad de su malvado corazón, sin escucharme.
Et vous, vous avez fait le mal plus encore que vos pères; Et voici, vous suivez chacun les penchants de votre mauvais coeur, Pour ne point m'écouter.
E voi avete fatto vie peggio che i vostri padri; ed ecco, ciascun di voi va dietro alla durezza del cuor suo malvagio, per non ascoltarmi.
E vós fizestes pior do que vossos pais; porque, eis que cada um de vós anda segundo o propósito do seu mau coração, para não me dar ouvidos a mim.
你們行惡比你們祖先更甚,看哪,各人隨從自己頑梗的惡心行事,不聽從我。
