Isaiah 15:6

For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

KJV

Aquæ enim Nemrim desertæ erunt, quia aruit herba, defecit germen, viror omnis interiit.

Vulgate

τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς Νεμηρεὶμ ἔρημος ἔσται καὶ ὁ χόρτος αὐτῆς ἐκλείψει· χόρτος γὰρ χλωρὸς οὐκ ἔσται.

LXX

For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is withered away, the tender grass faileth, there is no green thing.
