Micah 1:5

For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

KJV

In scelere Jacob omne istud, et in peccatis domus Israël. Quod scelus Jacob ? nonne Samaria ? et quæ excelsa Judæ ? nonne Jerusalem ?

Vulgate

διὰ ἀσέβειαν Ἰακὼβ πάντα ταῦτα, καὶ διὰ ἁμαρτίαν οἴκου Ἰσραήλ. τίς ἡ ἀσέβεια τοῦ Ἰακώβ, οὐ Σαμάρεια; καὶ τίς ἡ ἁμαρτία οἴκου Ἰούδα, οὐχὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ;

LXX

For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
