Jeremiah 16:10

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

KJV

Et cum annuntiaveris populo huic omnia verba hæc, et dixerint tibi : Quare locutus est Dominus super nos omne malum grande istud ? quæ iniquitas nostra, et quod peccatum nostrum, quod peccavimus Domino Deo nostro ?

Vulgate

καὶ ἔσται ὅταν ἀναγγείλῃς τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ ἅπαντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ εἴπωσιν πρὸς σέ Διὰ τί ἐλάλησεν Κύριος ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς πάντα τὰ κακὰ ταῦτα; τίς ἡ ἀδικία ἡμῶν; καὶ τίς ἡ ἁμαρτία ἡμῶν ἣν ἡμάρτομεν ἔναντι Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν;

LXX

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God?
