Isaiah 29:5
Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
KJV
Et erit sicut pulvis tenuis multitudo ventilantium te, et sicut favilla pertransiens multitudo eorum qui contra te prævaluerunt ;
Vulgate
καὶ ἔσται ὡς κονιορτὸς ἀπὸ τοίχου ὁ πλοῦτος τῶν ἀσεβῶν, καὶ ὡς χνοῦς φερόμενος τὸ πλῆθος τῶν καταδυναστευόντων σε, καὶ ἔσται ὡς στιγμὴ παραχρῆμα
LXX
But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly.
