Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 15:1–16:22
1Then Eliphaz the Thæmanite answered and said, 2Will a wise man give for answer a [mere] breath of wisdom? and does he fill up the pain of his belly, 3reasoning with improper sayings, and with words wherein is no profit? 4Hast not thou moreover cast off fear, and accomplished such words before the Lord? 5Thou art guilty by the words of thy mouth, neither hast thou discerned the words of the mighty. 6Let thine own mouth, and not me, reprove thee: and thy lips shall testify against thee. 7What! art thou the first man that was born? or wert thou established before the hills? 8Or hast thou heard the ordinance of the Lord? or has God used thee as [his] counsellor? and has wisdom come [only] to thee? 9For what knowest thou, that we know not? or what understandest thou, which we do not also? 10Truly among us [are] both the old and very aged man, more advanced in days than thy father. 11Thou hast been scourged for [but] few of thy sins: thou hast spoken haughtily [and] extravagantly. 12What has thine heart dared? or what have thine eyes [aimed at], 13that thou hast vented [thy] rage before the Lord, and delivered such words from [thy] mouth? 14For who, being a mortal, [is such] that he shall be blameless? or, [who that is] born of a woman, that he should be just? 15Forasmuch as he trusts not his saints; and the heaven is not pure before him. 16Alas then, abominable and unclean is man, drinking unrighteousness as a draught. 17But I will tell thee, hearken to me; I will tell thee now what I have seen; 18things wise men say, and their fathers have not hidden. 19To them alone the earth was given, and no stranger came upon them. 20All the life of the ungodly [is spent] in care, and the years granted to the oppressor are numbered. 21And his terror is in his ears: just when he seems to be at peace, his overthrow will come. 22Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword. 23And he has been appointed to be food for vultures; and he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcase: and a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind. 24Distress also and anguish shall come upon him: he shall fall as a captain in the first rank. 25For he has lifted his hands against the Lord, and he has hardened his neck against the Almighty Lord. 26And he has run against him with insolence, on the thickness of the back of his shield. 27For he has covered his face with his fat, and made layers of fat upon his thighs. 28And let him lodge in desolate cities, and enter into houses without inhabitant: and what they have prepared, others shall carry away. 29Neither shall he at all grow rich, nor shall his substance remain: he shall not cast a shadow upon the earth. 30Neither shall he in any wise escape the darkness: let the wind blast his blossom, and let his flower fall off. 31Let him not think that he shall endure; for his end shall be vanity. 32His harvest shall perish before the time, and his branch shall not flourish. 33And let him be gathered as the unripe grape before the time, and let him fall as the blossom of the olive. 34For death is the witness of an ungodly man, and fire shall burn the houses of them that receive gifts. 35And he shall conceive sorrows, and his end shall be vanity, and his belly shall bear deceit. Chapter 161But Job answered and said, 2I have heard many such things: poor comforters are ye all. 3What! is there any reason in vain words? or what will hinder thee from answering? 4I also will speak as ye [do]: if indeed your soul were in my [soul's] stead, then would I insult you with words, and I would shake my head at you. 5And would there were strength in my mouth, and I would not spare the movement of my lips. 6For if I should speak, I shall not feel the pain of my wound: and if I should be silent, how shall I be wounded the less? 7But now he has made me weary, and a worn-out fool; and thou hast laid hold of me. 8My falsehood has become a testimony, and has risen up against me: it has confronted me to my face. 9In his anger he has cast me down; he has gnashed his teeth upon me: the weapons of his robbers have fallen upon me. 10He has attacked me with the keen glances of his eyes; with his sharp [spear] he has smitten me [down] upon my knees; and they have run upon me with one accord. 11For the Lord has delivered me into the hands of unrighteous men, and thrown me upon the ungodly. 12When I was at peace he distracted me: he took me by the hair of the head, and plucked it out: he set me up as a mark. 13They surrounded me with spears, aiming at my reins: without sparing [me] they poured out my gall upon the ground. 14They overthrew me with fall upon fall: they ran upon me in [their] might. 15They sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and my strength has been spent on the ground. 16My belly has been parched with wailing, and darkness is on my eyelids. 17Yet there was no injustice in my hands, and my prayer is pure. 18Earth, cover not over the blood of my flesh, and let my cry have no place. 19And now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high. 20Let my supplication come to the Lord, and let mine eye weep before him. 21Oh that a man might plead before the Lord, even [as] the son of man with his neighbour! 22But my years are numbered and [their end] come, and I shall go by the way by which I shall not return.

28Remove not the old landmarks, which thy fathers placed. 29It is fit that an observant man and [one] diligent in his business should attend on kings, and not attend on slothful men.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 11:19–36
19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. 29For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 33O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 35Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
