The verse 31 is found in chapter 5 of Jeremiah. God announces a powerful foreign nation as an instrument of discipline. However, judgment does not mean absolute destruction: it is stated that there will be no complete extermination. The chapter concludes with an accusation against priests, prophets, and rulers who have allowed corruption, showing that the crisis affects the institutions responsible for guiding the people.

Die Propheten weissagen falsch, und die Priester herrschen in ihrem Amt, und mein Volk hat's gern also. Wie will es euch zuletzt darob gehen?
Los profetas profetizaron mentira, y los sacerdotes dirigían por manos de ellos; y mi pueblo así lo quiso. ¿Qué pues haréis a su fin?
los profetas profetizan con mentira y los sacerdotes gobiernan con su apoyo, y a mi pueblo le gusta que sea así. Pero ¿qué harán cuando llegue el fin de todo esto?».
Les prophètes prophétisent avec fausseté, Les sacrificateurs dominent sous leur conduite, Et mon peuple prend plaisir à cela. Que ferez-vous à la fin?
i profeti han profetizzato con menzogna; e i sacerdoti han signoreggiato, appoggiandosi sopra le mani di essi; e il mio popolo l’ha amato così. Ora, che farete voi alla fine?
Os profetas profetizam falsamente, e os sacerdotes dominam pelas mãos deles, e o meu povo assim o deseja; mas que fareis ao fim disto?
先知說假預言, 祭司把權柄抓在自己手上, 我的百姓也喜愛這樣, 到了結局你們要怎麼辦呢?」
