Jeremiah 48:27

For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.

KJV

Fuit enim in derisum tibi Israël : quasi inter fures reperisses eum : propter verba ergo tua quæ adversum illum locutus es, captivus duceris.

Vulgate

For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head.
