Micah 2:8

Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.

KJV

et e contrario populus meus in adversarium consurrexit. Desuper tunica pallium sustulistis : et eos qui transibant simpliciter convertistis in bellum.

Vulgate

καὶ ἔμπροσθεν ὁ λαός μου εἰς ἔχθραν ἀντέστη· κατὲναντι τῆς εἰρήνης αὐτοῦ τὴν δορὰν αὐτοῦ ἐξέδειραν, τοῦ ἀφελέσθαι ἐλπίδα συντριμμὸν πολέμου.

LXX

But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
