Jeremiah 27:5

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.

KJV

Ego feci terram, et homines, et jumenta quæ sunt super faciem terræ, in fortitudine mea magna, et in brachio meo extento, et dedi eam ei qui placuit in oculis meis.

Vulgate

ἕως Σειὼν ἐρωτήσουσιν τὴν ὁδόν, ὧδε γὰρ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν δώσουσιν, καὶ ἥξουσιν καὶ καταφεύξονται πρὸς Κύριον τὸν θεόν· διαθήκη γὰρ αἰώνιος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.

LXX

I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me.
