Job 6:5

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

KJV

Numquid rugiet onager cum habuerit herbam ? aut mugiet bos cum ante præsepe plenum steterit ?

Vulgate

τί γάρ; μὴ διὰ κενῆς κεκράξεται ὄνος ἄγριος, ἀλλ’ ἢ τὰ σῖτα ζητῶν; εἰ δὲ καὶ ῥήξει φωνὴν βοῦς ἐπὶ φάτνης ἔχων τὰ βρώματα;

LXX

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
