Lamentations 2:9
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
KJV
Defixæ sunt in terra portæ ejus, perdidit et contrivit vectes ejus ; regem ejus et principes ejus in gentibus : non est lex, et prophetæ ejus non invenerunt visionem a Domino.
Vulgate
Τήθ. Ἐνεπάγησαν εἰς γῆν πύλαι αὐτῆς· ἀπώλεσεν καὶ συνέτριψεν μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς, βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ ἄρχοντας αὐτῆς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος, καί γε προφῆται αὐτῆς οὐκ εἶδον ὅρασιν παρὰ Κυρίου.
LXX
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; Yea, her prophets find no vision from Jehovah.
