Jeremiah 20:11
But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
KJV
Dominus autem mecum est, quasi bellator fortis : idcirco qui persequuntur me cadent, et infirmi erunt : confundentur vehementer, quia non intellexerunt opprobrium sempiternum, quod numquam delebitur.
Vulgate
ὁ δὲ κύριος μετ’ ἐμοῦ καθὼς μαχητὴς ἰσχύων· διὰ τοῦτο ἐδίωξαν καὶ νοῆσαι οὐκ ἠδύναντο· ᾐσχύνθησαν σφόδρα, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνόησαν ἀτιμίας αὐτῶν, αἳ δι’ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσονται.
LXX
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one and a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
