Jeremiah 51:6

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

KJV

Fugite de medio Babylonis, et salvet unusquisque animam suam : nolite tacere super iniquitatem ejus, quoniam tempus ultionis est a Domino : vicissitudinem ipse retribuet ei.

Vulgate

καὶ ἔσταξεν ἡ ὀργή μου καὶ ὁ θυμός μου, καὶ ἐξεκαύθη ἐν πύλαις Ἰούδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐγενήθησαν εἰς ἐρήμωσιν καὶ εἰς ἄβατον ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.

LXX

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.
