Deuteronomy 32:30

How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

KJV

Quomodo persequatur unus mille, et duo fugent decem millia ? nonne ideo, quia Deus suus vendidit eos, et Dominus conclusit illos ?

Vulgate

πῶς διώξεται εἷς χιλίους, καὶ δύο μετακινήσουσιν μυριάδας, εἰ μὴ ὁ θεὸς ἀπέδοτο αὐτούς, καὶ Κύριος παρέδωκεν αὐτούς;

LXX

How should one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Except their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?

ASV

אֵיכָ֞ה יִרְדֹּ֤ף אֶחָד֙ אֶ֔לֶף וּ/שְׁנַ֖יִם יָנִ֣יסוּ רְבָבָ֑ה אִם לֹא֙ כִּי צוּרָ֣/ם מְכָרָ֔/ם וַֽ/יהוָ֖ה הִסְגִּירָֽ/ם
