- Arcum et scutum apprehendent : crudeles sunt, et immisericordes : vox eorum quasi mare sonabit, et super equos ascendent, sicut vir paratus ad prælium contra te, filia Babylon.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 27:42
- τόξον καὶ ἐνχειρίδιον ἔχοντες· ἰταμός ἐστιν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσῃ· φωνὴ αὐτῶν ὡς θάλασσα ἠχήσει, ἐφ᾽ ἵπποις ἱππάσονται παρασκευασμένοι ὥσπερ πῦρ εἰς πόλεμον, πρὸς σέ, θύγατερ Βαβυλῶνος.
