The verse 8 is found in chapter 7 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah stands at the temple gate to denounce Judah’s false religious security. The people trust in repeating “the temple of Yahweh” while practicing injustice, robbery, adultery, and idolatry. The temple does not function as a talisman: God’s presence requires justice toward one’s neighbor and faithfulness to the covenant.

Aber nun verlasset ihr euch auf Lügen, die nichts nütze sind.
He aquí vosotros os confiáis en palabras de mentira, que no aprovechan.
Pero ustedes confían en palabras engañosas que no sirven de nada.
Mais voici, vous vous livrez à des espérances trompeuses, Qui ne servent à rien.
Ecco, voi confidate in su parole fallaci, che non possono recare alcun giovamento.
Eis que vós confiais em palavras falsas, que para nada vos aproveitam.
「看哪,你們倚靠虛謊無益的話語。
