Jeremiah 14:3
And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
KJV
Majores miserunt minores suos ad aquam : venerunt ad hauriendum. Non invenerunt aquam : reportaverunt vasa sua vacua. Confusi sunt, et afflicti, et operuerunt capita sua.
Vulgate
καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῆς ἀπέστειλαν τοὺς νεωτέρους αὐτῶν ἐφ’ ὕδωρ· ἤλθοσαν ἐπὶ τὰ φρέατα, καὶ οὐχ εὕροσαν ὕδωρ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν τὰ ἄγγια αὐτῶν κενά.
LXX
And their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are put to shame and confounded, and cover their heads.
