Jeremiah 5:21

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

KJV

Audi, popule stulte, qui non habes cor : qui habentes oculos, non videtis ; et aures, et non auditis.

Vulgate

ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα, λαὸς μωρὸς καὶ ἀκάρδιος· ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ βλέπουσιν, ὦτα αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσιν.

LXX

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; that have eyes, and see not; that have ears, and hear not:
