Jeremiah 6:26
O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
KJV
Filia populi mei, accingere cilicio, et conspergere cinere : luctum unigeniti fac tibi, planctum amarum, quia repente veniet vastator super nos.
Vulgate
θυγάτηρ λαοῦ μου, περίζωσαι σάκκον, κατάπασαι ἐν σποδῷ, πένθος ἀγαπητοῦ ποίησαι σεαυτῇ κοπετὸν οἰκτρόν, ὅτι ἐξέφνης ἥξει ταλαιπωρία ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς.
LXX
O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
