Jeremiah 35:15

I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.

KJV

Misique ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas, consurgens diluculo mittensque, et dicens : Convertimini unusquisque a via sua pessima, et bona facite studia vestra : et nolite sequi deos alienos, neque colatis eos, et habitabitis in terra quam dedi vobis et patribus vestris : et non inclinastis aurem vestram, neque audistis me.

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν Ἰερεμίας τῷ Ἁνανίᾳ Οὐκ ἀπέσταλκέν σε Κύριος, καὶ πεποιθέναι ἐποίησας τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐπ’ ἀδίκῳ.

LXX

I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
