See the original texts
Greek of the New Testament: καὶ πάλιν λέγει Εὐφράνθητε ἔθνη μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ
Hebrew (Masoretic text): הַרְנִינוּ גוֹיִם עַמּוֹ כִּי דַם עֲבָדָיו יִקּוֹם וְנָקָם יָשִׁיב לְצָרָיו וְכִפֶּר אַדְמָתוֹ עַמּוֹ
Septuagint (Deuteronomy 32:43 in the Septuagint numbering): εὐφράνθητε, οὐρανοί, ἅμα αὐτῶ, καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτώ υἱοὶ εὐφράνθητε, ἔθνη, μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι τὸ αἷμα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκδικήσει, καὶ ἀνταποδώσει δίκην τοῖς ἔ’ ἐχθροῖς. καὶ τοῖς μισοῦσιν ἀνταποδώσει, κα ἐκκαθαριεῖ κύριος τὴν γῆν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.
The Greek of the NT matches the Septuagint word for word in 6 consecutive words: “Εὐφράνθητε ἔθνη μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.”
