Jeremiah 31:21

Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

KJV

Statue tibi speculam ; pone tibi amaritudines ; dirige cor tuum in viam rectam in qua ambulasti : revertere, virgo Israël, revertere ad civitates tuas istas.

Vulgate

καὶ κρίσις ἔρχεται εἰς γῆν τοῦ Μεισὼρ ἐπὶ Χαιλὼν καὶ Ῥεφὰς καὶ Μωφάς,

LXX

Set thee up waymarks, make thee guide-posts; set thy heart toward the highway, even the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
