Jeremiah 5:15
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
KJV
Ecce ego adducam super vos gentem de longinquo, domus Israël, ait Dominus : gentem robustam, gentem antiquam, gentem cujus ignorabis linguam, nec intelliges quid loquatur.
Vulgate
ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἔθνος πόρρωθεν, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ, λέγει Κύριος, ἔθνος οὗ οὐκ ἀκούσει τῆς φωνῆς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ·
LXX
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
