1 Samuel 2:3

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

KJV

Nolite multiplicare loqui sublimia gloriantes ; recedant vetera de ore vestro : quia Deus scientiarum Dominus est, et ipsi præparantur cogitationes.

Vulgate

μὴ καυχᾶσθε καὶ μὴ λαλεῖτε ὑψηλά, μὴ ἐξελθάτω μεγαλορημοσύνη ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν· ὅτι θεὸς γνώσεως Κύριος, καὶ θεὸς ἑτοιμάζων ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ.

LXX

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a God of knowledge, And by him actions are weighed.
