Job 12:14

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

KJV

Si destruxerit, nemo est qui ædificet ; si incluserit hominem, nullus est qui aperiat.

Vulgate

ἐὰν καταβάλῃ, τίς οἰκοδομήσει; ἐὰν κλείσῃ κατὰ ἀνθρώπων, τίς ἀνοίξει;

LXX

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
