Job 24:12

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

KJV

De civitatibus fecerunt viros gemere, et anima vulneratorum clamavit : et Deus inultum abire non patitur.

Vulgate

οἱ ἐκ πόλεως καὶ οἴκων ἰδίων ἐξεβάλλοντο, ψυχὴ δὲ νηπίων ἐστέναξεν μέγα.

LXX

From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.
