Isaiah 14:30

And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

KJV

Et pascentur primogeniti pauperum, et pauperes fiducialiter requiescent ; et interire faciam in fame radicem tuam, et reliquias tuas interficiam.

Vulgate

καὶ βοσκηθήσονται πτωχοὶ δι’ αὐτοῦ· πτωχοὶ δὲ ἄνθρωποι ἐπὶ εἰρήνης ἀναπαύσονται· ἀνελεῖ δὲ λιμῷ τὸ σπέρμα σου, καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμά σου ἀνελεῖ.

LXX

And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
