Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

Numquid ergo spelunca latronum facta est domus ista, in qua invocatum est nomen meum in oculis vestris ? Ego, ego sum : ego vidi, dicit Dominus.

Vulgate

μὴ σπήλαιον λῃστῶν ὁ οἶκός μου οὗ ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ἐκεῖ ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν; καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ ἑόρακα, λέγει Κύριος.

LXX
