Jeremiah 2:35

Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.

KJV

Et dixisti : Absque peccato et innocens ego sum, et propterea avertatur furor tuus a me. Ecce ego judicio contendam tecum, eo quod dixeris : Non peccavi.

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπας Ἀθῷός εἰμι, ἀλλὰ ἀποστραφήτω ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ. ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ κρίνομαι πρὸς σέ, ἐν τῷ λέγειν σε Οὐχ ἥμαρτον·

LXX

Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
