Job 3:24
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
KJV
Antequam comedam, suspiro ; et tamquam inundantes aquæ, sic rugitus meus :
Vulgate
πρὸ γὰρ τῶν σίτων μου στεναγμὸς ἥκει, δακρύω δὲ ἐγὼ συνεχόμενος φόβῳ.
LXX
For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.
