Ezekiel 32:24

There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.

KJV

Ibi Ælam, et omnis multitudo ejus per gyrum sepulchri sui : omnes hi interfecti, ruentesque gladio, qui descenderunt incircumcisi ad terram ultimam ; qui posuerunt terrorem suum in terra viventium, et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum.

Vulgate

ἐκεῖ Αἰλὰμ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ περικύκλῳ τοῦ μνήματος αὐτοῦ, πάντες οἱ τραυματίαι οἱ πεπτωκότες μαχαίρᾳ καὶ οἱ καταβαίνοντες ἀπερίτμητοι εἰς γῆς βάθος, οἱ δεδωκότες αὐτῶν φόβον ἐπὶ τῆς ζωῆς· καὶ ἐλάβοσαν τὴν βάσανον αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς βόθρον

LXX

There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
