Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

Thou shalt die in peace: and as they wept for thy fathers that reigned before thee, they shall weep also for thee, saying , Ah lord! and they shall lament for thee down to the grave: for I have spoken the word, said the Lord.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἀποθανῇ· καὶ ὡς ἔκλαυσαν τοὺς πατέρας σου τοὺς βασιλεύσαντας πρότερόν σου, κλαύσονται καὶ σὲ, οὐαὶ Κύριε, καὶ ἕως ᾅδου κόψονταί σε, ὅτι λόγον ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα, εἶπε Κύριος.
