Isaiah 57:6

Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

KJV

In partibus torrentis pars tua ; hæc est sors tua : et ipsis effudisti libamen, obtulisti sacrificium. Numquid super his non indignabor ?

Vulgate

ἐκείνη σου ἡ μερίς, οὗτός σου ὁ κλῆρος, κἀκείνοις ἐξέχεας σπονδὰς καὶ τούτοις ἀνήνεγκας θυσίας· ⸆ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὖν οὐκ ὀργισθήσομαι;

LXX

Among the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot; even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things?
