Jeremiah 50:9

For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

KJV

Quoniam ecce ego suscito, et adducam in Babylonem congregationem gentium magnarum de terra aquilonis, et præparabuntur adversus eam, et inde capietur : sagitta ejus quasi viri fortis interfectoris : non revertetur vacua.

Vulgate

Λάβε σεαυτῷ λίθους μεγάλους καὶ κατάκρυψον αὐτοὺς ἐν προθύροις, ἐν πύλῃ τῆς οἰκίας Φαραὼ ἐν Ταφνάς, κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνδρῶν Ἰούδα,

LXX

For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of an expert mighty man; none shall return in vain.
