Jeremiah 3:21
A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
KJV
Vox in viis audita est, ploratus et ululatus filiorum Israël : quoniam iniquam fecerunt viam suam ; obliti sunt Domini Dei sui.
Vulgate
φωνὴ ἐκ χειλέων ἠκούσθη κλαυθμοῦ καὶ δεήσεως υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἠδίκησαν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν, ἐπελάθοντο θεοῦ Ἁγίου αὐτῶν.
LXX
A voice is heard upon the bare heights, the weeping and the supplications of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Jehovah their God.
