For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
KJV
Quasi arena maris hæc gravior appareret ; unde et verba mea dolore sunt plena :
Vulgate
καὶ δὴ ἄμμου παραλίας βαρυτέρα ἔσται· ἀλλ’ ὡς ἔοικεν τὰ ῥήματά μού ἐστιν φαῦλα.
LXX
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.
