Jr 6:18-30 (King James)

   ¹⁸ Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. ¹⁹ Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. ²⁰ To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. ²¹ Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish. ²² Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. ²³ They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion. ²⁴ We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. ²⁵ Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side. ²⁶ O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. ²⁷ I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. ²⁸ They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters. ²⁹ The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away. ³⁰ Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.

Jr 6:18-30 (Vulgate)

   ¹⁸ Ideo audite, gentes,
et cognosce, congregatio,
quanta ego faciam eis.
   ¹⁹ Audi, terra :
ecce ego adducam mala super populum istum,
fructum cogitationum ejus :
quia verba mea non audierunt,
et legem meam projecerunt.
   ²⁰ Ut quid mihi thus de Saba affertis,
et calamum suave olentem de terra longinqua ?
Holocautomata vestra non sunt accepta,
et victimæ vestræ non placuerunt mihi.
   ²¹ Propterea hæc dicit Dominus :
Ecce ego dabo in populum istum ruinas :
et ruent in eis patres et filii simul ;
vicinus et proximus peribunt.
   ²² Hæc dicit Dominus :
Ecce populus venit de terra aquilonis,
et gens magna consurget a finibus terræ.
   ²³ Sagittam et scutum arripiet :
crudelis est et non miserebitur.
Vox ejus quasi mare sonabit :
et super equos ascendent,
præparati quasi vir ad prælium
adversum te, filia Sion.
   ²⁴ Audivimus famam ejus ;
dissolutæ sunt manus nostræ :
tribulatio apprehendit nos,
dolores ut parturientem.
   ²⁵ Nolite exire ad agros,
et in via ne ambuletis,
quoniam gladius inimici,
pavor in circuitu.
   ²⁶ Filia populi mei, accingere cilicio,
et conspergere cinere :
luctum unigeniti fac tibi,
planctum amarum,
quia repente veniet vastator super nos.
   ²⁷ Probatorem dedi te in populo meo robustum :
et scies, et probabis viam eorum.
   ²⁸ Omnes isti principes declinantes,
ambulantes fraudulenter,
æs et ferrum :
universi corrupti sunt.
   ²⁹ Defecit sufflatorium ;
in igne consumptum est plumbum :
frustra conflavit conflator,
malitiæ enim eorum non sunt consumptæ.
   ³⁰ Argentum reprobum vocate eos,
quia Dominus projecit illos.]
