Jeremiah 2:30

In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

KJV

Frustra percussi filios vestros : disciplinam non receperunt. Devoravit gladius vester prophetas vestros : quasi leo vastator

Vulgate

μάτην ἐπάταξα τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, παιδείαν οὐκ ἐδέξασθε· μάχαιρα κατέφαγεν τοὺς προφήτας ὑμῶν ὡς λέων ὀλεθρεύων, καὶ οὐκ ἐφοβήθητε.

LXX

In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
