Habakkuk 3:6

He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

KJV

Stetit, et mensus est terram ; aspexit, et dissolvit gentes, et contriti sunt montes sæculi : incurvati sunt colles mundi ab itineribus æternitatis ejus.

Vulgate

ἔστη, καὶ ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ· ἐπέβλεψεν, καὶ διετάκη ἔθνη· διεθρύβη τὰ ὄρη βίᾳ, ἐτάκησαν βουνοὶ αἰώνιοι πορείας αἰωνίας αὐτοῦ.

LXX

He stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered; The everlasting hills did bow; His goings were as of old.
