Baruch 6:27

In 4 translations

KJV
They also that serve them are ashamed: for if they fall to the ground at any time, they cannot rise up again of themselves: neither, if one set them upright, can they move of themselves: neither, if they be bowed down, can they make themselves straight: but they set gifts before them as unto dead men.

Those who serve them are also ashamed, for if they fall to the ground at any time, they can’t rise up again by themselves. If they are bowed down, they can’t make themselves straight; but the offerings are set before them, as if they were dead men.

The things that are sacrificed to them, their priests sell and abuse: in like manner also their wives take part of them, but give nothing of it either to the sick, or to the poor.
LXXE1:27
They also that serve them are ashamed: for if they fall to the ground at any time, they cannot rise up again of themselves: neither, if one set them upright, can they move of themselves: neither, if they be bowed down, can they make themselves straight: but they set gifts before them, as unto dead men.

LXX-Br1:27
Αἰσχύνονταί τε καὶ οἱ θεραπεύοντες αὐτὰ, διὰ τὸ, εἴποτε ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν πέσῃ, μὴ διʼ αὐτῶν ἀνίστασθαι, μήτε ἐάν τις αὐτὸ ὀρθὸν στήσῃ, διʼ ἑαυτοῦ κινηθήσεται, μητε ἐὰν κλιθῇ, οὐ μὴ ὀρθωθῇ, ἀλλʼ ὥσπερ νεκροῖς τὰ δῶρα αὐτοῖς παρατίθεται.
