Jeremiah 8:6

I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

KJV

Attendi, et auscultavi : nemo quod bonum est loquitur ; nullus est qui agat pœnitentiam super peccato suo, dicens : Quid feci ? Omnes conversi sunt ad cursum suum, quasi equus impetu vadens ad prælium.

Vulgate

ἐνωτίσασθε δὴ καὶ ἀκούσατε· οὐχ οὕτως λαλήσουσιν Οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος μετανοῶν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ, λέγων Τί ἐποίησα; διέλιπεν ὁ τρέχων ἀπὸ τοῦ δρόμου αὐτοῦ ὡς ἵππος κάθιδρος ἐν χρεμετισμῷ αὐτοῦ.

LXX

I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turneth to his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.
