Jeremiah 6:4
Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
KJV
Sanctificate super eam bellum : consurgite, et ascendamus in meridie : væ nobis, quia declinavit dies ; quia longiores factæ sunt umbræ vesperi !
Vulgate
παρασκευάσασθε ἐπ’ αὐτὴν εἰς πόλεμον, ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπ’ αὐτήν μεσημβρίας· οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, ὅτι κέκλικεν ἡ ἡμέρα, ὃτι ἐκλείπουσιν αἱ σκιαὶ τῆς ἡμέρας.
LXX
Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
