Isaiah 43:17

Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

KJV

qui eduxit quadrigam et equum, agmen et robustum : simul obdormierunt, nec resurgent ; contriti sunt quasi linum, et extincti sunt.

Vulgate

ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν ἅρματα καὶ ἵππον καὶ ὄχλον ἰσχυρόν· ἀλλὰ κοιμηθήσονται καὶ οὐκ ἀναστήσονται, ἐσβέσθησαν ὡς λίνον ἐσβεσμένον

LXX

who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick):
