Vulgate

καὶ ἐξῆλθέν σοι ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐν τῷ κάλλει σου, διότι συντετελεσμένον ἦν ἐν εὐπρεπείᾳ ἐν τῇ ὡραιότητι ᾗ ἔταξα ἐπὶ σέ, λέγει Κύριος.

LXX

And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
