Nahum 3:3
The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
KJV
et micantis gladii, et fulgurantis hastæ, et multitudinis interfectæ, et gravis ruinæ ; nec est finis cadaverum, et corruent in corporibus suis.
Vulgate
καὶ ἱππέως ἀναβαίνοντος καὶ στιλβούσης ῥομφαίας καὶ ἐξαστραπτόντων ὅπλων, καὶ πλήθους τραυματιῶν καὶ βαρείας πτώσεως, καὶ οὐκ ἦν πέρας τοῖς ἔθνεσιν αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν τοῖς σώμασιν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ πλήθους πορνείας.
LXX
the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies; they stumble upon their bodies;—
