Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

for by myself I have sworn, saith the Lord, that thou shalt be in the midst of her an impassable land , and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert for ever.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

ὅτι κατʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι εἰς ἄβατον καὶ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν, καὶ εἰς κατάρασιν ἔσῃ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς ἔσονται ἔρημοι εἰς αἰῶνα.
