Isaiah 5:6
And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
KJV
Et ponam eam desertam ; non putabitur et non fodietur : et ascendent vepres et spinæ, et nubibus mandabo ne pluant super eam imbrem.
Vulgate

LXX
and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
