But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

The verse 28 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.

Darum sprich zu ihnen: Dies ist das Volk, das den HERRN, seinen Gott, nicht hören noch sich bessern will. Der Glaube ist untergegangen und ausgerottet von ihrem Munde.
Les dirás por tanto: Esta es la gente que no escuchó la voz de Jehová su Dios, ni tomó corrección; perdiose la fe, y de la boca de ellos fue cortada.
Alors dis-leur: C'est ici la nation qui n'écoute pas la voix de l'Eternel, son Dieu, Et qui ne veut pas recevoir instruction; La vérité a disparu, elle s'est retirée de leur bouche.
E perciò tu dirai loro: Questa è la gente, che non ha ascoltata la voce del Signore Iddio suo, e non ha ricevuta correzione; la verità è perita, ed è venuta meno nella bocca loro
E lhes dirás: Esta é a nação que não deu ouvidos à voz do SENHOR seu Deus e não aceitou a correção; já pereceu a verdade, e foi cortada da sua boca.
你要對他們說:『這就是不聽從耶和華-他們上帝的話、不領受訓誨的國民;誠信已從他們口中消失殆盡了。
