Nahum 3:18
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.

Dormitaverunt pastores tui, rex Assur, sepelientur principes tui : latitavit populus tuus in montibus, et non est qui congreget.
Vulgate

LXX
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; thy nobles are at rest; thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and there is none to gather them.
