Nahum 3:7

And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

KJV

Et erit : omnis qui viderit te resiliet a te, et dicet : Vastata est Ninive. Quis commovebit super te caput ? unde quæram consolatorem tibi ?

Vulgate

καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὁ ὁρῶν σε καταβήσεται ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐρεῖ Δειλαία Νινευή· τίς στενάξει αὐτήν; πόθεν ζητήσω παράκλησιν αὐτῇ;

LXX

And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
