Jeremiah 7:28
But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

Et dices ad eos : Hæc est gens quæ non audivit vocem Domini Dei sui, nec recepit disciplinam ; periit fides, et ablata est de ore eorum.
Vulgate
καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον τοῦτον Τοῦτο τὸ ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ἤκουσεν τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου οὐδὲ ἐδέξατο παιδείαν· ἐξέλιπεν ἡ πίστις ἐκ στόματος αὐτῶν.
LXX
And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
