Job 34:20

In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

KJV

Subito morientur, et in media nocte turbabuntur populi : et pertransibunt, et auferent violentum absque manu.

Vulgate

κενὰ δὲ αὐτοῖς ἀποβήσεται τὸ κεκραγέναι καὶ δεῖσθαι ἀνδρός· ἐχρήσαντο γὰρ παρανόμως, ἐκκλινομένων ἀδυνάτων.

LXX

In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
