Isaiah 28:17

Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

KJV

Et ponam in pondere judicium, et justitiam in mensura ; et subvertet grando spem mendacii, et protectionem aquæ inundabunt.

Vulgate

καὶ θήσω κρίσιν εἰς ἐλπίδα, ἡ δὲ ἐλεημοσύνη μου εἰς σταθμούς, καὶ οἱ πεποιθότες μάτην ψεύδει· ὅτι μὴ παρέλθῃ ὑμᾶς καταιγίς,

LXX

And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
