Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.

The verse 23 is found in chapter 44 of Jeremiah. The people’s response reveals a complete reversal of prophetic authority: they say they will continue worshiping the queen of heaven. Jeremiah then announces that the small remnant will suffer and that the sign involving Pharaoh Hophra will confirm the judgment. The scene shows how far a community can reinterpret its own history to justify disobedience.

Darum, daß ihr geräuchert habt und wider den HERRN gesündigt und der Stimme des HERRN nicht gehorchtet und in seinem Gesetz, seinen Rechten und Zeugnissen nicht gewandelt habt, darum ist auch euch solches Unglück widerfahren, wie es heutigestages steht.
Porque ofrecisteis sahumerios, y pecasteis contra Jehová, y no obedecisteis a la voz de Jehová, ni anduvisteis en su ley, ni en sus estatutos, ni en sus testimonios: por tanto ha venido sobre vosotros este mal, como hoy.
C'est parce que vous avez brûlé de l'encens et péché contre l'Eternel, parce que vous n'avez pas écouté la voix de l'Eternel, et que vous n'avez pas observé sa loi, ses ordonnances, et ses préceptes, c'est pour cela que ces malheurs vous sont arrivés, comme on le voit aujourd'hui.
Perciocchè voi avete fatti que’ profumi, ed avete peccato contro al Signore, e non avete ubbidito alla voce del Signore, e non siete camminati nella sua Legge, e ne’ suoi statuti, e nelle sue testimonianze; perciò vi è avvenuto questo male, qual si vede al dì d’oggi.
Porque queimastes incenso, e porque pecastes contra o SENHOR, e não obedecestes à voz do SENHOR, e na sua lei, e nos seus testemunhos não andastes, por isso vos sucedeu este mal, como se vê neste dia.
你們燒香,得罪耶和華,不聽耶和華的話,不遵行他的律法、條例、法度,所以你們遭遇這災禍,正如今日一樣。」
