Jeremiah 21:2

Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

KJV

Interroga pro nobis Dominum, quia Nabuchodonosor, rex Babylonis, præliatur adversum nos : si forte faciat Dominus nobiscum secundum omnia mirabilia sua, et recedat a nobis.

Vulgate

Ἐπερώτησον περὶ ἡμῶν τὸν κύριον, ὅτι βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐφέστηκεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς, εἰ ποιήσει Κύριος κατὰ πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπελεύσεται ἀφ’ ἡμῶν.

LXX

Inquire, I pray thee, of Jehovah for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us: peradventure Jehovah will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
