Lamentations 2:8
The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
KJV
Cogitavit Dominus dissipare murum filiæ Sion ; tetendit funiculum suum, et non avertit manum suam a perditione : luxitque antemurale, et murus pariter dissipatus est.
Vulgate
Ἥθ. Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν διαφθεῖραι τεῖχος θυγατρὸς Σειών· ἐξέτεινεν μέτρον, οὐκ ἐπέστρεψεν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ καταπατήματος, καὶ ἐπένθησεν τὸ προτείχισμα, καὶ τεῖχος ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἠσθένησεν.
LXX
Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying; And he hath made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
