1 Samuel 20:7

If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

KJV

Si dixerit : Bene : pax erit servo tuo. Si autem fuerit iratus, scito quia completa est malitia ejus.

Vulgate

ἐὰν τάδε εἴπῃ Ἀγαθῶς, εἰρήνη τῷ δούλῳ σου· καὶ ἐὰν σκληρῶς ἀποκριθῇ σοι, γνῶθι ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία παρ’ αὐτοῦ.

LXX

If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him.
