And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

The verse 6 is found in chapter 25 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah summarizes twenty-three years of ignored preaching and presents exile as the consequence of refusing to listen. Babylon is called God’s servant to execute judgment, but it will also be judged afterward. Divine sovereignty over the nations does not make Babylon innocent: the instrument will also answer for its own actions.

Folget nicht andern Göttern, daß ihr ihnen dienet und sie anbetet, auf daß ihr mich nicht erzürnt durch eurer Hände Werk und ich euch Unglück zufügen müsse.
Y no vayáis en pos de dioses ajenos, sirviéndoles y encorvándoos a ellos, ni me provoquéis a ira con la obra de vuestras manos; y no os haré mal.
No sigan a otros dioses para servirlos y postrarse ante ellos. No me provoquen a ira con las obras de sus manos, y no les haré mal».
n'allez pas après d'autres dieux, pour les servir et pour vous prosterner devant eux, ne m'irritez pas par l'ouvrage de vos mains, et je ne vous ferai aucun mal.
E non andate dietro ad altri dii, per servirli, e adorarli; e non mi dispettate per le opere delle vostre mani; ed io non vi farò male alcuno.
E não andeis após outros deuses para os servirdes, e para vos inclinardes diante deles, nem me provoqueis à ira com a obra de vossas mãos, para que não vos faça mal.
不可隨從別神,事奉敬拜它們,以你們手所做的惹我發怒;這樣,我就不會降災禍給你們。
