Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 44 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah confronts the Jews settled in Egypt for continuing to burn incense to the queen of heaven. The prophet interprets Jerusalem’s destruction as the consequence of that idolatry, not as Yahweh’s inability. The community, however, claims that its former prosperity was connected to idolatrous worship and rejects the warning.

und das um ihrer Bosheit willen, die sie taten, daß sie mich erzürnten und hingingen und räucherten und dienten andern Göttern, welche weder sie noch ihr noch eure Väter kannten.
A causa de la maldad de ellos que cometieron para hacerme enojar, yendo a ofrecer sahumerios, honrando dioses ajenos que ellos no habían conocido, vosotros, ni vuestros padres.
a causa de la maldad que cometieron para provocarme a ira, yendo a quemar incienso y a servir a otros dioses que no habían conocido ni ellos, ni ustedes, ni sus padres.
cause de la méchanceté avec laquelle ils ont agi pour m'irriter, en allant encenser et servir d'autres dieux, inconnus à eux, à vous et à vos pères.
e non vi è alcuno che abiti in esse; per la lor malvagità, che usarono per dispettarmi; andando a far profumi, ed a servire ad altri dii, i quali nè essi, nè voi, nè i vostri padri non avevate conosciuti.
Por causa da maldade que fizeram, para me irarem, indo queimar incenso, e servir a deuses estranhos, que nunca conheceram, nem eles, nem vós, nem vossos pais.
這是因居民所行的惡,去燒香事奉別神,就是他們和你們,以及你們列祖所不認識的神明,惹我發怒。
