Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

Therefore thus said the Lord; Ye have not hearkened to me, to proclaim a release every one to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a release to you, to the sword, and to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you up to dispersion among all the kingdoms of the earth.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

Διατοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἠκούσατέ μου, τοῦ καλέσαι ἄφεσιν ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καλῶ ἄφεσιν ὑμῖν εἰς μάχαιραν, καὶ εἰς τὸν θάνατον, καὶ εἰς τὸν λιμὸν, καὶ δώσω ὑμᾶς εἰς διασπορὰν πάσαις ταῖς βασιλείαις τῆς γῆς·
