Jeremiah 14:9

Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

KJV

quare futurus es velut vir vagus, ut fortis qui non potest salvare ? Tu autem in nobis es, Domine, et nomen tuum invocatum est super nos : ne derelinquas nos.

Vulgate

μὴ ἔσῃ ὥσπερ ἄνθρωπος ὑπνῶν ἢ ὡς ἀνὴρ οὐ δυνάμενος σώζειν; καὶ σὺ ἐν ἡμῖν εἶ, Κύριε, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπικέκληται ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς· μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ ἡμῶν.

LXX

Why shouldest thou be as a man affrighted, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, O Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
