Jeremiah 51:17
Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
KJV
Stultus factus est omnis homo a scientia ; confusus est omnis conflator in sculptili : quia mendax est conflatio eorum, nec est spiritus in eis.
Vulgate
ὅτι ποιοῦντες ποιήσομεν πάντα τὸν λόγον ὃς ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ἡμῶν, θυμιᾷν τῇ βασιλίσσῃ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ σπένδειν αὐτῇ σπονδάς, καθὰ ἐποιήσαμεν ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἐπλήσθημεν ἄρτων καὶ ἐγενόμεθα χρηστοί, καὶ κακὰ οὐκ εἴδομεν.
LXX
Every man is become brutish and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
