Jeremiah 3:5
Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
KJV
numquid irasceris in perpetuum, aut perseverabis in finem ? ecce locuta es, et fecisti mala, et potuisti.
Vulgate
μὴ διαμενεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἢ φυλαχθήσεται εἰς νῖκος; ἰδοὺ ἐλάλησας καὶ ἐποίησας τὰ πονηρὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἠδυνάσθης.
LXX
Will he retain his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and hast had thy way.

§370In no way is God in man's image. He is neither man nor woman. God is pure spirit in which there is no place for the difference between the sexes. But the respective "perfections" of man and woman reflect something of the infinite perfection of God: those of a mother and those of a father and husband.241 "Each for the other" - "A unity in two"
