The verse 9 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.

Daneben seid ihr Diebe, Mörder, Ehebrecher und Meineidige und räuchert dem Baal und folgt fremden Göttern nach, die ihr nicht kennt.
¿Hurtando, matando, y adulterando, y jurando falso, e incensando a Baal, y andando tras dioses extraños que no conocisteis,
¿Roban, asesinan, cometen adulterio, juran en falso, queman incienso a Baal y siguen a otros dioses que no conocían,
Quoi! dérober, tuer, commettre des adultères, Jurer faussement, offrir de l'encens à Baal, Aller après d'autres dieux que vous ne connaissez pas!...
Rubando, uccidendo, commettendo adulterio, e giurando falsamente, e facendo profumi a Baal, e andando dietro ad altri dii, i quali voi non avete conosciuti;
Porventura furtareis, e matareis, e adulterareis, e jurareis falsamente, e queimareis incenso a Baal, e andareis após outros deuses que não conhecestes,
你們豈可偷盜,殺害,姦淫,起假誓,向 巴力 燒香,隨從素不認識的別神,
