Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

The verse 26 is found in chapter 7 of Jeremiah. God commands Jeremiah not to intercede for a community that has consciously persisted in idolatry. The reference to the “queen of heaven” reveals the depth of the religious abandonment. The people attribute their prosperity to idolatry, while the prophet interprets that same practice as the cause of their ruin.

Aber sie wollen mich nicht hören noch ihre Ohren neigen, sondern waren halsstarrig und machten's ärger denn ihre Väter.
Mas no me oyeron ni inclinaron su oído; antes endurecieron su cerviz, e hicieron peor que sus padres.
Pero no me escucharon ni inclinaron el oído; endurecieron su cuello e hicieron más mal que sus antepasados.
Mais ils ne m'ont point écouté, ils n'ont point prêté l'oreille; Ils ont raidi leur cou, Ils ont fait le mal plus que leurs pères.
ma essi non mi hanno ascoltato, e non hanno inchinato il loro orecchio; anzi hanno indurato il lor collo; han fatto peggio che i padri loro.
Mas não me deram ouvidos, nem inclinaram os seus ouvidos, mas endureceram a sua cerviz, e fizeram pior do que seus pais.
你們卻不聽我,不側耳而聽,竟硬著頸項行惡,比你們的祖先更甚。
