Jeremiah 14:16

And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

KJV

Et populi quibus prophetant erunt projecti in viis Jerusalem præ fame et gladio, et non erit qui sepeliat eos : ipsi et uxores eorum, filii et filiæ eorum : et effundam super eos malum suum.

Vulgate

καὶ ὁ λαὸς οἷς αὐτοὶ προφητεύουσιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔσονται ἐριμμένοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας καὶ τοῦ λιμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ θάπτων αὐτούς, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς τὰ κακὰ αὐτῶν.

LXX

And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them—them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
