Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

The verse 15 is found in chapter 18 of Jeremiah. The people respond to the message by conspiring against Jeremiah and declaring that they will not abandon their own customs.

Pero mi pueblo me ha olvidado; queman incienso a lo que es vanidad. Los han hecho tropezar en sus caminos, en las sendas antiguas, para que anden por senderos, por un camino sin preparar,

Contudo o meu povo se tem esquecido de mim, queimando incenso à vaidade, que os fez tropeçar nos seus caminhos, e nas veredas antigas, para que andassem por veredas afastadas, não aplainadas;
我的百姓竟忘記我, 向那虛無的神明 燒香, 它們使百姓在所行的路上、在古道上絆跌, 去行未修築的斜路,
