Jeremiah 12:9
Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
KJV
Numquid avis discolor hæreditas mea mihi ? numquid avis tincta per totum ? Venite, congregamini, omnes bestiæ terræ : properate ad devorandum.
Vulgate
μὴ σπήλαιον ὑαίνης ἡ κληρονομία μου ἐμοί, ἢ σπήλαιον κύκλῳ αὐτῆς; βαδίσατε συνάγετε πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ, καὶ ἐλθέτωσαν τοῦ φαγεῖν αὐτήν.
LXX
Is my heritage unto me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her round about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
