LXX-Br43:23

διʼ ἣν ἐποίησαν ἀνομίαν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐμοιχῶντο τὰς γυναῖκας τῶν πολιτῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ λόγον ἐχρημάτισαν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ὃν οὐ συνέταξα αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐγὼ μάρτυς, φησὶ Κύριος. Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀναγινώσκοντος Ἰουδὶν τρεῖς σελίδας καὶ τέσσαρας, ἀπέτεμεν αὐτὰς τῷ ξυρῷ τοῦ γραμματέως, καὶ ἔῤῥιπτεν εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσχάρας, ἕως ἐξέλιπε πᾶς ὁ χάρτης εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσχάρας.
