Jeremiah 10:21

For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

KJV

Quia stulte egerunt pastores, et Dominum non quæsierunt : propterea non intellexerunt, et omnis grex eorum dispersus est.

Vulgate

ὅτι οἱ ποιμένες ἠφρονεύσαντο, καὶ τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐζήτησαν· διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐνόησεν πᾶσα ἡ νομή, καὶ διεσκορπίσθησαν.

LXX

For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
