Jeremiah 9:2

Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

KJV

Quis dabit me in solitudine diversorium viatorum, et derelinquam populum meum, et recedam ab eis ? quia omnes adulteri sunt, cœtus prævaricatorum.

Vulgate

τίς δῴη μοι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ σταθμὸν ἔσχατον, καὶ καταλείψω τὸν λαόν μου καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι ἀπ’ αὐτῶν; ὅτι πάντες μοιχῶνται, σύνοδος ἀθετούντων,

LXX

Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
