Jeremiah 18:14

Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?

KJV

Numquid deficiet de petra agri nix Libani ? aut evelli possunt aquæ erumpentes frigidæ, et defluentes ?

Vulgate

μὴ ἐκλείψουσιν ἀπὸ πέτρας μαστοί, ἢ χιὼν ἀπὸ τοῦ Λιβάνου; μὴ ἐκκλινεῖ ὕδωρ βιαίως ἀνέμῳ φερόμενον;

LXX

Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? or shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
