Deuteronomy 28:64

And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

KJV

Disperget te Dominus in omnes populos, a summitate terræ usque ad terminos ejus : et servies ibi diis alienis, quos et tu ignoras et patres tui, lignis et lapidibus.

Vulgate

καὶ διασπερεῖ σε Κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀπ’ ἄκρου τῆς γῆς ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς, καὶ δουλεύσεις ἐκεῖ θεοῖς ἑτέροις, ξύλοις καὶ λίθοις, οὓς οὐκ ἠπίστω σὺ καὶ οἱ πατέρες σου.

LXX

And Jehovah will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone.
