Isaiah 48:21

And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

KJV

Non sitierunt in deserto, cum educeret eos : aquam de petra produxit eis, et scidit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐὰν διψήσωσιν, δι’ ἐρήμου ἄξει αὐτοῖς ὕδωρ, ἐκ πέτρας ἐξάξει αὐτοῖς, σχισθήσεται πέτρα καὶ ῥυήσεται ὕδωρ, καὶ πίεται ὁ λαός μου.

LXX

And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
