Jeremiah 12:11

They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

KJV

Posuerunt eam in dissipationem, luxitque super me : desolatione desolata est omnis terra, quia nullus est qui recogitet corde.

Vulgate

ἐτέθη εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἀπωλείας· δι’ ἐμὲ ἀφανισμῷ ἠφανίσθη πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνὴρ τιθέμενος ἐν καρδίᾳ.

LXX

They have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
