For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.

The verse 20 is found in chapter 42 of Jeremiah. The survivors ask Jeremiah to consult Yahweh and promise to obey whatever answer is given. After ten days, God commands them to remain in the land and not fear Babylon, but warns that Egypt will not be a safe refuge. The tragedy is that the people ask for a word while already considering disobedience to it.

ihr werdet sonst euer Leben verwahrlosen. Denn ihr habt mich gesandt zum HERRN, eurem Gott, und gesagt: Bitte den HERRN, unsern Gott, für uns; und alles, was der HERR, unser Gott, sagen wird, das zeige uns an, so wollen wir darnach tun.
¿Por qué hicisteis errar vuestras almas? porque vosotros me enviasteis a Jehová vuestro Dios, diciendo: Ora por nosotros a Jehová nuestro Dios; y conforme a todas las cosas que Jehová nuestro Dios dijere, háznoslo saber así, y lo pondremos por obra.
Ustedes se han engañado a sí mismos, pues me enviaron a Jehová, su Dios, diciendo: “Ora por nosotros a Jehová, nuestro Dios; comunícanos todo lo que Jehová, nuestro Dios, diga, y lo haremos”.
Vous vous trompez vous-mêmes, car vous m'avez envoyé vers l'Eternel, votre Dieu, en disant: Intercède en notre faveur auprès de l'Eternel, notre Dieu, fais-nous connaître tout ce que l'Eternel, notre Dieu, dira, et nous le ferons.
Conciossiachè voi mi abiate ingannato contro alle vostre proprie anime, quando mi avete mandato al Signore Iddio vostro, dicendo: Fa’ orazione al Signore Iddio nostro per noi; e secondo tutto ciò che il Signore Iddio nostro dirà, fanne la relazione, e noi lo metteremo ad effetto.
Porque vos enganastes a vós mesmos, pois me enviastes ao SENHOR vosso Deus, dizendo: Ora por nós ao SENHOR nosso Deus; e conforme tudo o que disser o SENHOR nosso Deus, declara-no-lo assim, e o faremos.
你們行詭詐害自己;因為你們請我到耶和華-你們上帝那裏,說:『請你為我們向耶和華-我們的上帝禱告,你把耶和華-我們上帝所說的一切告訴我們,我們就必遵行。』
