Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 2 of Jeremiah. Yahweh recalls Israel’s initial love in the wilderness and contrasts that relationship with its later unfaithfulness. The people abandoned the fountain of living water to make broken cisterns. The metaphor shows that idolatry is not simply an alternative religious practice, but the abandonment of the only source truly capable of sustaining life.

Darum muß ich noch immer mit euch und mit euren Kindeskindern hadern, spricht der HERR.
Por tanto entraré aún en juicio con vosotros, dijo Jehová, y con los hijos de vuestros hijos pleitearé.
Por eso todavía presentaré mi causa contra ustedes —declara Jehová—, y contra los hijos de sus hijos presentaré mi causa.
C'est pourquoi je veux encore contester avec vous, dit l'Eternel, Je veux contester avec les enfants de vos enfants.
Perciò, io contenderò ancora con voi, dice il Signore; e contenderò co’ figliuoli de’ vostri figliuoli.
Portanto ainda contenderei convosco, diz o SENHOR; e até com os filhos de vossos filhos contenderei.
「我因此必與你們爭辯, 也與你們的子孫爭辯。 這是耶和華說的。
