2 Chronicles 29:6

For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

KJV

Peccaverunt patres nostri, et fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini Dei nostri, derelinquentes eum : averterunt facies suas a tabernaculo Domini, et præbuerunt dorsum.

Vulgate

ὅτι ἀπέστησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου καὶ ἐγκατέλιπαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν τὸ πρόσωπον ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς Κυρίου καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐχένα·

LXX

For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and turned their backs.
