Jeremiah 49:20
Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
KJV
Propterea audite consilium Domini quod iniit de Edom, et cogitationes ejus quas cogitavit de habitatoribus Theman : si non dejecerint eos parvuli gregis, nisi dissipaverint cum eis habitaculum eorum.
Vulgate
ὅτι ἐπονηρεύσασθε ἐν ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν ἀποστείλαντές με λέγοντες Πρόσευξαι περὶ ἡμῶν πρὸς Κύριον, καί Κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ σοι Κύριος ποιήσομεν.
LXX
Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.
