Jeremias 12:4
How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of every field wither for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts and the birds are consumed: because they have said: He shall not see our last end.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Usquequo lugebit terra, et herba omnis regionis siccabitur, propter malitiam habitantium in ea ? Consumptum est animal, et volucre, quoniam dixerunt : Non videbit novissima nostra.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἕως πότε πενθήσει ἡ γῆ καὶ πᾶς ὁ χόρτος τοῦ ἀγροῦ ξηρανθήσεται ἀπὸ κακίας τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν αὐτῇ; ἠφανίσθησαν κτήνη καὶ πετεινά, ὅτι εἶπαν Οὐκ ὄψεται ὁ θεὸς ὁδοὺς ἡμῶν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- עַד מָתַי֙ תֶּאֱבַ֣ל הָאָ֔רֶץ וְעֵ֥שֶׂב כָּל הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה יִיבָ֑שׁ מֵרָעַ֣ת יֹֽשְׁבֵי בָ֗הּ סָפְתָ֤ה בְהֵמוֹת֙ וָע֔וֹף כִּ֣י אָמְר֔וּ לֹ֥א יִרְאֶ֖ה אֶת אַחֲרִיתֵֽנוּ
Haydock's commentary
Mourn? Is not this a proof of my providence in chastising Juda? This famine is specified [in] chap. viii. 13., and xiv. 4. (Calmet)
Last end. Two letters seem to be transposed in Hebrew, as the Septuagint read "ways." (Kennicott)
The impious blaspheme as if all were ruled by chance. (Calmet)
