Jeremiah 15:18
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
KJV
Quare factus est dolor meus perpetuus, et plaga mea desperabilis renuit curari ? facta est mihi quasi mendacium aquarum infidelium.
Vulgate
ἵνα τί οἱ λυποῦντές με κατισχύουσίν μου; ἡ πληγή μου στερεά, πόθεν ἰαθήσομαι; γινομένη ἐγενήθη μοι ὡς ὕδωρ ψευδές, οὐκ ἔχον πίστιν.
LXX
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?
