Jeremiah 7:6

If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

KJV

advenæ, et pupillo, et viduæ non feceritis calumniam, nec sanguinem innocentem effuderitis in loco hoc, et post deos alienos non ambulaveritis in malum vobismetipsis :

Vulgate

καὶ προσήλυτον καὶ ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν μὴ καταδυναστεύσητε, καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον μὴ ἐκχέητε ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, καὶ ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων μὴ πορεύησθε εἰς κακὸν ὑμῖν·

LXX

if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:

ASV

גֵּ֣ר יָת֤וֹם וְ/אַלְמָנָה֙ לֹ֣א תַֽעֲשֹׁ֔קוּ וְ/דָ֣ם נָקִ֔י אַֽל תִּשְׁפְּכ֖וּ בַּ/מָּק֣וֹם הַ/זֶּ֑ה וְ/אַחֲרֵ֨י אֱלֹהִ֧ים אֲחֵרִ֛ים לֹ֥א תֵלְכ֖וּ לְ/רַ֥ע לָ/כֶֽם
