The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Fili hominis, cane lugubre super multitudinem Ægypti : et detrahe eam ipsam, et filias gentium robustarum, ad terram ultimam, cum his qui descendunt in lacum.
Septuagint (Swete)
Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, θρήνησον ἐπὶ τὴν ἰσχὺν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ καταβιβάσουσιν αὐτῆς τὰς θυγατέρας τὰ ἔθνη νεκρὰς εἰς τὸ βάθος τῆς γῆς, πρὸς τοὺς καταβαίνοντας εἰς βόθρον·
Hebrew (WLC)
בֶּן אָדָ֕ם נְהֵ֛ה עַל הֲמ֥וֹן מִצְרַ֖יִם וְהוֹרִדֵ֑הוּ א֠וֹתָהּ וּבְנ֨וֹת גּוֹיִ֧ם אַדִּרִ֛ם אֶל אֶ֥רֶץ תַּחְתִּיּ֖וֹת אֶת י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר
