Deuteronomy 4:7

For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

KJV

Nec est alia natio tam grandis, quæ habeat deos appropinquantes sibi, sicut Deus noster adest cunctis obsecrationibus nostris.

Vulgate

ὅτι ποῖον ἔθνος μέγα ᾧ ἐστιν αὐτῷ θεὸς ἐγγίζων αὐτοῖς ὡς Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐὰν αὐτὸν ἐπικαλεσώμεθα;

LXX

For what great nation is there, that hath a god so nigh unto them, as Jehovah our God is whensoever we call upon him?
