Jeremiah 35:7

Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.

KJV

et domum non ædificabitis, et sementem non seretis, et vineas non plantabitis, nec habebitis : sed in tabernaculis habitabitis cunctis diebus vestris, ut vivatis diebus multis super faciem terræ in qua vos peregrinamini.

Vulgate

πλὴν ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον Κυρίου ὃν ἐγὼ λέγω εἰς τὰ ὧτα ὑμῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ ὦτα παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ

LXX

neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land wherein ye sojourn.
