Jeremiah 51:30
The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
KJV
Cessaverunt fortes Babylonis a prælio ; habitaverunt in præsidiis : devoratum est robur eorum, et facti sunt quasi mulieres : incensa sunt tabernacula ejus, contriti sunt vectes ejus.
Vulgate
οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι τὸν Οὑαφρὴ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς χεῖρας ζητούντων τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, καθὰ ἔδωκα τὸν Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα εἰς χεῖρας Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἐχθροῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ζητοῦντος τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
LXX
The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling-places are set on fire; her bars are broken.
