Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 22 of Jeremiah. The word addressed to the royal house establishes a criterion for evaluating government: practice justice, rescue the oppressed, and do not shed innocent blood. Davidic identity is not an automatic privilege; it is linked to obedience. Jerusalem’s destruction will be explained by abandoning these responsibilities.

Und man wird antworten: Darum daß sie den Bund des HERRN, ihres Gottes, verlassen und andere Götter angebetet und ihnen gedient haben.
Y dirán: Porque dejaron el pacto de Jehová su Dios, y adoraron dioses ajenos, y les sirvieron.
Y responderán: “Porque abandonaron el pacto de Jehová su Dios, se postraron ante otros dioses y los sirvieron”».
Et l'on répondra: Parce qu'ils ont abandonné L'alliance de l'Eternel, leur Dieu, Parce qu'ils se sont prosternés devant d'autres dieux et les ont servis.
E si dirà: Perciocchè hanno lasciato il patto del Signore Iddio loro, ed hanno adorati altri dii, ed hanno lor servito
E dirão: Porque deixaram a aliança do SENHOR seu Deus, e se inclinaram diante de outros deuses, e os serviram.
必有人回答說:『是因他們離棄了耶和華-他們上帝的約,事奉敬拜別神。』」
