Jeremiah 23:10
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
KJV
Quia adulteris repleta est terra, quia a facie maledictionis luxit terra, arefacta sunt arva deserti : factus est cursus eorum malus, et fortitudo eorum dissimilis.
Vulgate
ὅτι ἀπὸ προσώπου τούτων ἐπένθησεν ἡ γῆ, ἐξηράνθησαν αἱ νομαὶ τῆς ἐρήμου· καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ δρυμὸς αὐτῶν πονηρός, καὶ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτῶν οὕτως.
LXX
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. And their course is evil, and their might is not right;
