Ezekiel 21:26

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

KJV

hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Aufer cidarim, tolle coronam : nonne hæc est quæ humilem sublevavit, et sublimem humiliavit ?

Vulgate

τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἀφείλου τὴν κίδαριν καὶ ἐπέθου τὸν στέφανον· αὐτὴ οὐ τοιαύτη ἔσται· ἐταπείνωσας τὸ ὑψηλόν, καὶ ὕψωσας τὸ ταπεινόν.

LXX

thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown; this shall be no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
