Jeremias 23:31
Behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who use their tongues, and say: The Lord saith it.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Ecce ego ad prophetas, ait Dominus, qui assumunt linguas suas, et aiunt : Dicit Dominus.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Swete's Greek text skips verses 30-31 by the same scribal jump, so this verse about the prophets who 'use their tongues' is missing.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- הִנְנִ֥י עַל הַנְּבִיאִ֖ם נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה הַלֹּקְחִ֣ים לְשׁוֹנָ֔ם וַֽיִּנְאֲמ֖וּ נְאֻֽם
