Jeremiah 2:31
O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
KJV
generatio vestra. Videte verbum Domini : numquid solitudo factus sum Israëli, aut terra serotina ? quare ergo dixit populus meus : Recessimus ; non veniemus ultra ad te ?
Vulgate
ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Μὴ ἔρημος ἐγενόμην τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἢ γῆ κεχερσωμένη; διὰ τί εἶπεν ὁ λαός μου Οὐ κυριευθησόμεθα, καὶ οὐχ ἥξομεν πρὸς σὲ ἔτι;
LXX
O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? or a land of thick darkness? wherefore say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more unto thee?
