The verse 29 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.

The scene shows how far a community can reinterpret its own history to justify disobedience.

Und zum Zeichen, spricht der HERR, daß ich euch an diesem Ort heimsuchen will, damit ihr wißt, daß mein Wort soll wahr werden über euch zum Unglück,
Y esto tendréis por señal, dice Jehová, de que en este lugar os visito, para que sepáis que de cierto permanecerán mis palabras para mal sobre vosotros.
Esta será la señal para ustedes —declara Jehová— de que voy a castigarlos en este lugar, para que sepan que mis palabras contra ustedes se cumplirán sin falta para su desgracia.
Et voici, dit l'Eternel, un signe auquel vous connaîtrez que je vous châtierai dans ce lieu, afin que vous sachiez que mes paroles s'accompliront sur vous pour votre malheur.
E questo vi sarà il segno, dice il Signore, che io farò punizione di voi in questo luogo; acciocchè sappiate che le mie parole saranno del tutto messe ad effetto contro a voi in male.
E isto vos servirá de sinal, diz o SENHOR, que eu vos castigarei neste lugar, para que saibais que certamente subsistirão as minhas palavras contra vós para mal.
我在這地方懲罰你們,必有預兆,使你們知道我降禍給你們的話必站得住。這是耶和華說的。
