Jeremiah 50:6

My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

KJV

Grex perditus factus est populus meus : pastores eorum seduxerunt eos, feceruntque vagari in montibus : de monte in collem transierunt ; obliti sunt cubilis sui.

Vulgate

τοὺς δυνατοὺς ἄνδρας καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τὰς ψυχὰς ἃς κατέλειπεν Ναβουζαρδὰν μετὰ Γοδολίου υἱοῦ Ἀχεικάμ, καὶ Ἰερεμίαν τὸν προφήτην καὶ Βαροὺχ υἱὸν Νηρίου,

LXX

My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting-place.
