Jeremiah 16:11

Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

KJV

dices ad eos : Quia dereliquerunt me patres vestri, ait Dominus, et abierunt post deos alienos, et servierunt eis, et adoraverunt eos, et me dereliquerunt, et legem meam non custodierunt.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς Ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐνκατέλιπόν με οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ᾤχοντο ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐμὲ ἐγκατέλιπον καὶ τὸν νόμον μου οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο,

LXX

then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

ASV

וְ/אָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵי/הֶ֗ם עַל֩ אֲשֶׁר עָזְב֨וּ אֲבוֹתֵי/כֶ֤ם אוֹתִ/י֙ נְאֻם יְהוָ֔ה וַ/יֵּלְכ֗וּ אַֽחֲרֵי֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וַ/יַּעַבְד֖וּ/ם וַ/יִּשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לָ/הֶ֑ם וְ/אֹתִ֣/י עָזָ֔בוּ וְ/אֶת תּוֹרָתִ֖/י לֹ֥א שָׁמָֽרוּ
