Heu ! heu ! heu ! Domine Deus, ecce tu fecisti cælum et terram in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento : non erit tibi difficile omne verbum :
Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 39:17
Ὁ ὢν Κύριε, σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν τῇ ἰσχύι σου τῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ τῷ βραχίονί σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ τῷ μετεώρῳ, οὐ μὴ ἀποκρυβῇ ἀπὸ σοῦ οὐθέν,
Hebrew (WLC)
אֲהָהּ֮ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֒ הִנֵּ֣ה אַתָּ֣ה עָשִׂ֗יתָ אֶת הַשָּׁמַ֨יִם֙ וְאֶת הָאָ֔רֶץ בְּכֹֽחֲךָ֙ הַגָּד֔וֹל וּבִֽזְרֹעֲךָ֖ הַנְּטוּיָ֑ה לֹֽא יִפָּלֵ֥א מִמְּךָ֖ כָּל דָּבָֽר
