Genesis 34:30

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

KJV

Quibus patratis audacter, Jacob dixit ad Simeon et Levi : Turbastis me, et odiosum fecistis me Chananæis, et Pherezæis habitatoribus terræ hujus : nos pauci sumus ; illi congregati percutient me, et delebor ego, et domus mea.

Vulgate

εἶπεν δὲ Ἰακὼβ Συμεὼν καὶ Λευί Μισητόν με πεποιήκατε, ὥστε πονηρόν με εἶναι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν τὴν γῆν, ἔν τε τοῖς Χαναναίοις καὶ τοῖς Φερεζαίοις· ἐγὼ δὲ ὀλιγοστός εἰμι ἐν ἀριθμῷ, καὶ συναχθέντες ἐπ’ ἐμὲ συγκόψουσίν με, καὶ ἐκτρίβομαι ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ οἶκός μου.

LXX

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
