Jeremiah 48:9

Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.

KJV

Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur : et civitates ejus desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles.

Vulgate

καὶ τὸ φρέαρ εἰς ὃ ἔριψεν ἐκεῖ Ἰσμαὴλ πάντας οὓς ἐπάταξεν, φρέαρ μέγα τοῦτό ἐστιν ὃ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσὰ ἀπὸ προσώπου Βαασὰ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ· τοῦτο ἐνέπλησεν Ἰσμαὴλ τραυματιῶν.

LXX

Give wings unto Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
