Jeremiah 50:12

Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

KJV

confusa est mater vestra nimis, et adæquata pulveri, quæ genuit vos : ecce novissima erit in gentibus, deserta, invia, et arens.

Vulgate

καὶ καύσει πῦρ ἐν οἰκίαις τῶν θεῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐνπυριεῖ αὐτὰς καὶ ἀποικιεῖ αὐτούς, καὶ φθειριεῖ γῆν Αἰγύπτου ὥσπερ φθειρίζει ποιμὴν τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐν εἰρήνῃ,

LXX

your mother shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
