The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Quomodo dereliquerunt civitatem laudabilem, urbem lætitiæ ?
Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 30:14
πῶς οὐχὶ ἐνκατέλιπεν πόλιν ἐμήν; κώμην ἠγάπησαν.
Hebrew (WLC)
אֵ֥יךְ לֹֽא עֻזְּבָ֖ה עִ֣יר תהלה קִרְיַ֖ת מְשׂוֹשִֽׂי

Haydock's commentary

They. Hebrew, Septuagint, and Chaldean add, "not." Why have they not spared this beautiful city? or, why have not its citizens given it up, to prevent its entire demolition?

From Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary, 1859, in the transcription made by Todd Easton and kept online by John Paul Wohlschied at johnblood.gitlab.io/haydock.
