Vulgate

καὶ ἥξει μάχαιρα ἐπ’ Αἰγυπτίους, καὶ ἔσται ταραχὴ ἐν γῇ Αἰθιοπίᾳ, καὶ συμπεσοῦνται τετραυματισμένοι ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ συμπεσεῖται αὐτῆς τὰ θεμέλια.

LXX

And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
