Jeremiah 27:9
Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
KJV
Vos ergo nolite audire prophetas vestros, et divinos, et somniatores, et augures, et maleficos, qui dicunt vobis : Non servietis regi Babylonis :
Vulgate
ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγείρω ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν ἐκ γῆς βορρᾶ, καὶ παρατάξονται αὐτῇ· ἐκεῖθεν ἁλώσεται, ὡς βολὶς μαχητοῦ συνετοῦ οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει κενή.
LXX
But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
ASV
וְ֠/אַתֶּם אַל תִּשְׁמְע֨וּ אֶל נְבִיאֵי/כֶ֜ם וְ/אֶל קֹֽסְמֵי/כֶ֗ם וְ/אֶל֙ חֲלֹמֹ֣תֵי/כֶ֔ם וְ/אֶל עֹֽנְנֵי/כֶ֖ם וְ/אֶל כַּשָּׁפֵי/כֶ֑ם אֲשֶׁר הֵ֞ם אֹמְרִ֤ים אֲלֵי/כֶם֙ לֵ/אמֹ֔ר לֹ֥א תַעַבְד֖וּ אֶת מֶ֥לֶךְ בָּבֶֽל
