Isaiah 61:9

And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

KJV

Et scient in gentibus semen eorum, et germen eorum in medio populorum ; omnes qui viderint eos cognoscent illos, quia isti sunt semen cui benedixit Dominus.

Vulgate

καὶ γνωσθήσεται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν· πᾶς ὁ ὁρῶν αὐτοὺς ἐπιγνώσεται αὐτούς, ὅτι οὗτοί εἰσιν σπέρμα ηὐλογημένον ὑπὸ θεοῦ,

LXX

And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Jehovah hath blessed.
