1 Samuel 25:34

For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

KJV

Alioquin vivit Dominus Deus Israël, qui prohibuit me ne malum facerem tibi : nisi cito venisses in occursum mihi, non remansisset Nabal usque ad lucem matutinam mingens ad parietem.

Vulgate

πλὴν ὅτι ζῇ Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ὃς ἀπεκώλυσέν με σήμερον τοῦ κακοποιῆσαί σε, ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἔσπευσας καὶ παρεγένου εἰς ἀπάντησίν μοι, τότε εἶπα Εἰ ὑπολειφθήσεται τῷ Ναβὰλ ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωὶ οὐρῶν πρὸς τοῖχον.

LXX

For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, who hath withholden me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.
