Lamentations 2:5
The LORD was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
KJV
Factus est Dominus velut inimicus, præcipitavit Israël : præcipitavit omnia mœnia ejus, dissipavit munitiones ejus, et replevit in filia Juda humiliatum et humiliatam.
Vulgate
Ἥ. Ἐγενήθη Κύριος ὡς ἐχθρός, κατεπόντισεν Ἰσραήλ· κατεπόντισεν τὰς βάρεις αὐτῆς, διέφθειρεν τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπλήθυνεν τῇ θυγατρὶ ⸂⸆⸃ Ἰούδα ταπεινουμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην.
LXX
The Lord is become as an enemy, he hath swallowed up Israel; He hath swallowed up all her palaces, he hath destroyed his strongholds; And he hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
