Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 9:1–10:22
1Then Job answered and said, 2I know of a truth that it is so: for how shall a mortal man be just before the Lord? 3For if he would enter into judgment with him, [God] would not hearken to him, so that he should answer to one of his charges of a thousand. 4For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: who has hardened himself against him and endured? 5Who wears out the mountains, and [men] know it not: who overturns them in anger. 6Who shakes the [earth] under heaven from its foundations, and its pillars totter. 7Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and he seals up the stars. 8Who alone has stretched out the heavens, and walks on the sea as on firm ground. 9Who makes Pleias, and Hesperus, and Arcturus, and the chambers of the south. 10Who does great and unsearchable things; glorious also and excellent things, innumerable. 11If ever he should go beyond me, I shall not see him: if he should pass by me, neither thus have I known [it]. 12If he would take away, who shall turn him back? or who shall say to him, What hast thou done? 13For [if] he has turned away [his] anger, the whales under heaven have stooped under him. 14Oh then that he would hearken to me, or judge my cause. 15For though I be righteous, he will not hearken to me: I will intreat his judgment. 16And if I should call and he should not hearken, I cannot believe that he has listened to my voice. 17Let him not crush me with a dark storm: but he has made my bruises many without cause. 18For he suffers me not to take breath, but he has filled me with bitterness. 19For indeed he is strong in power: who then shall resist his judgment? 20For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane: and though I should seem blameless, I shall be proved perverse. 21For even if I have sinned, I know it not [in] my soul: but my life is taken away. 22Wherefore I said, Wrath slays the great and mighty man. 23For the worthless die, but the righteous are laughed to scorn. 24For they are delivered into the hands of the unrighteous [man]: he covers the faces of the judges [of the earth]: but if it be not he, who is it? 25But my life is swifter than a post: [my days] have fled away, and they knew it not. 26Or again, is there a trace of [their] path [left] by ships? or is there one of the flying eagle as it seeks [its] prey? 27And if I should say, I will forget to speak, I will bow down my face and groan; 28I quake in all my limbs, for I know that thou wilt not leave me alone [as] innocent. 29But since I am ungodly, why have I not died? 30For if I should wash myself with snow, and purge myself with pure hands, 31thou hadst thoroughly plunged me in filth, and my garment had abhorred me. 32For thou art not man like me, with whom I could contend, that we might come together to judgment. 33Would that [he] our mediator were [present], and a reprover, and one who should hear [the cause] between both. 34Let him remove [his] rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me: 35so shall I not be afraid, but I will speak: for I am not thus conscious [of guilt]. Chapter 101Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul. 2And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and wherefore hast thou thus judged me? 3Is it good before thee if I be unrighteous? for thou hast disowned the work of thy hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly. 4Or dost thou see as a mortal sees? or wilt thou look as a man sees? 5Or is thy life human, or thy years [the years] of a man, 6that thou hast enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins? 7For thou knowest that I have not committed iniquity: but who is he that can deliver out of thy hands? 8Thy hands have formed me and made me; afterwards thou didst change [thy mind], and smite me. 9Remember that thou hast made me [as] clay, and thou dost turn me again to earth. 10Hast thou not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese? 11And thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, and frame me with bones and sinews. 12And thou didst bestow upon me life and mercy, and thy oversight has preserved my spirit. 13Having these things in thyself, I know that thou canst do all things; for nothing is impossible with thee. 14And if I should sin, thou watchest me; and thou hast not cleared me from iniquity. 15Or if I should be ungodly, woe is me: and if I should be righteous, I cannot lift myself up, for I am full of dishonour. 16For I am hunted like a lion for slaughter; for again thou hast changed and art terribly destroying me; 17renewing against me my torture: and thou hast dealt with me in great anger, and thou hast brought trials upon me. 18Why then didst thou bring me out of the womb? and why did I not die, and no eye see me, 19and I become as if I had not been? for why was I not carried from the womb to the grave? 20Is not the time of my life short? suffer me to rest a little, 21before I go whence I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess; 22to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither [can any one] see the life of mortals.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 92:1–5(MT: 93)
MT Psalm 93 = LXX Psalm 92 (standard offset).
1A Psalm of David for the fourth [day] of the week. The Lord is a God of vengeance; the God of vengeance has declared himself. 2Be thou exalted, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud. 3How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast? 4They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity will speak [so]. 5They have afflicted thy people, O Lord, and hurt thine heritage.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 22:22–23
22Do no violence to the poor, for he is needy: neither dishonour the helpless [man] in the gates. 23For the Lord will plead his cause, and thou shalt deliver thy soul in safety.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 9:16–33
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. 27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 29And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. 30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
