The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Quis est vir sapiens qui intelligat hoc, et ad quem verbum oris Domini fiat, ut annuntiet istud, quare perierit terra, et exusta sit quasi desertum, eo quod non sit qui pertranseat ?
Septuagint (Swete)
τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ συνετός, καὶ συνέτω τοῦτο· καὶ ᾧ λόγος στόματος Κυρίου πρὸς αὐτόν, ἀναγγειλάτω ὑμῖν ἕνεκεν τίνος ἀπώλετο ἡ γῆ· ἀνήφθη ὡς ἔρημος παρὰ τὸ μὴ διοδεύεσθαι αὐτήν.
