Proverbs 24:22
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
KJV
quoniam repente consurget perditio eorum, et ruinam utriusque quis novit ?
Vulgate
ἐξαίφνης γὰρ τίσονται τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς, τὰς δὲ τιμωρίας ἀμφοτέρων τίς γνώσεται; [1] λόγον φυλασσόμενος υἱὸς ἀπωλείας ἐκτὸς ἔσται, δεχόμενος δὲ ἐδέξατο αὐτόν. [2] μηδὲν ψεῦδος ἀπὸ γλώσσης βασιλεῖ λεγέσθω, καὶ οὐδὲν ψεῦδος αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ γλώσσης μὴ ἐξέλθῃ. [3] μάχαιρα γλῶσσα βασιλέως καὶ οὐ σαρκίνη· ὃς δ’ ἂν παραδοθῇ, συντριβήσεται. [4] ἐὰν γὰρ ὀξυνθῇ ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ, σὺν νεύροις ἀνθρώπους ἀναλίσκει, [5] καὶ ὀστᾶ ἀνθρώπων κατατρώγει, καὶ συνκαίει ὥσπερ φλόξ, ⸂⸆⸃ ὥστε ἄβρωτα εἶναι νεοσσοῖς ἀετῶν.
LXX
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
