Jeremiah 49:4

Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

KJV

Quid gloriaris in vallibus ? defluxit vallis tua, filia delicata, quæ confidebas in thesauris tuis, et dicebas : Quis veniet ad me ?

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰερεμίας Ἤκουσα· ἰδοὺ προσεύξομαι πρὸς Κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν κατὰ τοὺς λόγους ὑμῶν. καὶ ἔσται, ὁ λόγος ὃν ἂν ἀποκριθήσεται Κύριος, ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ κρύψω ἀφ’ ὑμῶν ῥῆμα.

LXX

Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
