Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

The verse 7 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.

Aber ihr wolltet mir nicht gehorchen, spricht der HERR, auf daß ihr mich ja wohl erzürntet durch eurer Hände Werk zu eurem eigenen Unglück.
Empero no me habéis oído, dice Jehová, para provocarme a ira con la obra de vuestras manos para mal vuestro.
«Pero no me han escuchado —declara Jehová—, y me han provocado a ira con las obras de sus manos, para su propio mal».
Mais vous ne m'avez pas écouté, dit l'Eternel, afin de m'irriter par l'ouvrage de vos mains, pour votre malheur.
Ma voi non mi avete ubbidito, dice il Signore, per dispettarmi con le opere delle vostre mani, a danno vostro
Porém não me destes ouvidos, diz o SENHOR, mas me provocastes à ira com a obra de vossas mãos, para vosso mal.
然而你們不聽從我,竟以手所做的惹我發怒,害了自己。這是耶和華說的。』」
