The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Quomodo confractus est et contritus malleus universæ terræ ? quomodo versa est in desertum Babylon in gentibus ?
Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 27:23
πῶς ἐκλάσθη καὶ συνετρίβη ἡ σφῦρα πάσης τῆς γῆς; πῶς ἐγενήθη εἰς ἀφανισμὸν Βαβυλὼν ἐν ἔθνεσιν;
Hebrew (WLC)
אֵ֤יךְ נִגְדַּע֙ וַיִּשָּׁבֵ֔ר פַּטִּ֖ישׁ כָּל הָאָ֑רֶץ אֵ֣יךְ הָיְתָ֧ה לְשַׁמָּ֛ה בָּבֶ֖ל בַּגּוֹיִֽם
