Isaiah 27:4

Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

KJV

Indignatio non est mihi. Quis dabit me spinam et veprem in prælio ? gradiar super eam, succendam eam pariter.

Vulgate

οὐκ ἔστιν ἣ οὐκ ἐπελάβετο αὐτῆς· τίς με θήσει φυλάσσειν καλάμην ἐν ἀγρῷ; διὰ τὴν πολεμίαν ταύτην ἠθέτηκα αὐτήν. τοίνυν διὰ τοῦτο ἐποίησεν Κύριος πάντα ὅσα συνέταξεν. κατακέκαυμαι,

LXX

Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
