Jeremiah 6:8

Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.

Erudire, Jerusalem, ne forte recedat anima mea a te ; ne forte ponam te desertam, terram inhabitabilem.

παιδευθήσῃ, Ἰερουσαλήμ· μὴ ἀποστῇ ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπὸ σοῦ, μὴ ποιήσω σε ἄβατον γῆν ἥτις οὐ κατοικισθῇ.

Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited.
