Jeremiah 51:34

Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.

KJV

Comedit me, devoravit me Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis : reddidit me quasi vas inane, absorbuit me quasi draco, replevit ventrem suum teneritudine mea, et ejecit me.

Vulgate

εἰπὸν αὐτῷ Οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Ἰδοὺ οὓς ἐγὼ ὠκοδόμησα, ἐγὼ καθαιρῶ· καὶ οὓς ἐγὼ ἐφύτευσα, ἐγὼ ἐκτίλλω.

LXX

Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath, like a monster, swallowed me up, he hath filled his maw with my delicacies; he hath cast me out.
