Jeremiah 2:23

How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

KJV

Quomodo dicis : Non sum polluta ; post Baalim non ambulavi ? Vide vias tuas in convalle ; scito quid feceris : cursor levis explicans vias suas.

Vulgate

πῶς ἐρεῖς Οὐκ ἐμιάνθην καὶ ὀπίσω τῆς Βάαλ οὐκ ἐπορεύθην; ἴδε τὰς ὁδούς σου ἐν τῷ πολυανδρίῳ, καὶ γνῶθι τί ἐποίησας. ὀψὲ φωνὴ αὐτῆς ὠλόλυξεν,

LXX

How canst thou say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
