Isaiah 59:11
We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
KJV
Rugiemus quasi ursi omnes, et quasi columbæ meditantes gememus : exspectavimus judicium, et non est ; salutem, et elongata est a nobis.
Vulgate
ὡς ἄρκος καὶ ὡς περιστερὰ ἅμα πορεύσονται· ἀνεμείναμεν κρίσιν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν· σωτηρία μακρὰν ἀφέστηκεν ἀφ’ ἡμῶν.
LXX
We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
