Jeremiah 12:5
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
KJV
Si cum peditibus currens laborasti, quomodo contendere poteris cum equis ? cum autem in terra pacis securus fueris, quid facies in superbia Jordanis ?
Vulgate
σοῦ οἱ πόδες τρέχουσιν καὶ ἐκλύουσίν σε· πῶς παρασκευάσῃ ἐφ’ ἵπποις; καὶ ἐν γῇ εἰρήνης οὐ πέποιθας· πῶς ποιήσεις ἐν φρυάγματι τοῦ Ἰορδάνου;
LXX
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?
