But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.

The verse 5 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.

Aber sie gehorchten nicht, neigten auch ihre Ohren nicht, daß sie von ihrer Bosheit sich bekehrt und andern Göttern nicht geräuchert hätten.
Mas no oyeron ni inclinaron su oído para convertirse de su maldad, para no ofrecer sahumerios a dioses ajenos.
Pero no escucharon ni prestaron atención para volverse de su maldad y dejar de quemar incienso a otros dioses.
Mais ils n'ont pas écouté, ils n'ont pas prêté l'oreille, ils ne sont pas revenus de leur méchanceté, et ils n'ont pas cessé d'offrir de l'encens à d'autres dieux.
non però ubbidirono, nè inchinarono il loro orecchio, per istornarsi dalla lor malvagità; per non far profumi ad altri dii.
Mas eles não escutaram, nem inclinaram os seus ouvidos, para se converterem da sua maldade, para não queimarem incenso a outros deuses.
他們卻不聽從,不側耳而聽,也不轉離惡事,仍向別神燒香。
