Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

And I will bring upon thee my jealousy, and they shall deal with thee in great wrath: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and shall cast down thy remnant with the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy remnant fire shall devour.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

καὶ δώσω πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν κρίμα, καὶ ἐκδικήσουσί σε ἐν τοῖς κρίμασιν αὐτῶν. Καὶ δώσω τὸν ζῆλόν μου ἐν σοὶ, καὶ ποιήσουσι μετὰ σου ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ· μυκτῆρά σου καὶ ὦτά σου ἀφελοῦσι, καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους σου ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καταβαλοῦσιν· αὐτοὶ υἱούς σου καὶ θυγατέρας σου λήψονται, καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους σου πῦρ καταφάγεται.
