Jeremiah 4:20

Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.

KJV

Contritio super contritionem vocata est, et vastata est omnis terra : repente vastata sunt tabernacula mea ; subito pelles meæ.

Vulgate

καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν συντριμμὸν ἐπικαλεῖται, ὅτι τεταλαιπώρηκεν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ἄφνω τεταλαιπώρηκεν ἡ σκηνή, διεσπάσθησαν αἱ δέρρεις μου.

LXX

Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.
