Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 31:1–32:22
1I made a covenant with mine eyes, and I will not think upon a virgin. 2Now what portion has God given from above? and is there an inheritance [given] of the Mighty One from the highest? 3Alas! destruction to the unrighteous, and rejection to them that do iniquity. 4Will he not see my way, and number all my steps? 5But if I had gone with scorners, and if too my foot has hasted to deceit: 6(for I am weighed in a just balance, and the Lord knows my innocence:) 7if my foot has turned aside out of the way, or if mine heart has followed mine eye, and if too I have touched gifts with my hands; 8then let me sow, and let others eat; and let me be uprooted on the earth. 9If my heart has gone forth after another man's wife, and if I laid wait at her doors; 10then let my wife also please another, and let my children be brought low. 11For the rage of anger is not to be controlled, [in the case] of defiling [another] man's wife. 12For it is a fire burning on every side, and whomsoever it attacks, it utterly destroys. 13And if too I despised the judgment of my servant or [my] handmaid, when they pleaded with me; 14what then shall I do if the Lord should try me? and if also he should at all visit me, can I make an answer? 15Were not they too formed as I also was formed in the womb? yea, we were formed in the same womb. 16But the helpless missed not whatever need they had, and I did not cause the eye of the widow to fail. 17And if too I ate my morsel alone, and did not impart [of it] to the orphan; 18(for I nourished [them] as a father from my youth, and guided [them] from my mother's womb.) 19And if too I overlooked the naked as he was perishing, and did not clothe him; 20and if the poor did not bless me, and their shoulders were [not] warmed with the fleece of my lambs; 21if I lifted my hand against an orphan, trusting that my strength was far superior [to his]: 22let then my shoulder start from the blade-bone, and my arm be crushed off from the elbow. 23For the fear of the Lord constrained me, and I cannot bear up by reason of his burden. 24If I made gold my treasure, and if too I trusted the precious stone; 25and if too I rejoiced when my wealth was abundant, and if too I laid my hand on innumerable [treasures]: 26(do we not see the shining sun eclipsed, and the moon waning? for they have not [power to continue]:) 27and if my heart was secretly deceived, and if I have laid my hand upon my mouth and kissed it: 28let this also then be reckoned to me as the greatest iniquity: for I [should] have lied against the Lord Most High. 29And if too I was glad at the fall of mine enemies, and mine heart said, Aha! 30let then mine ear hear my curse, and let me be a by-word among my people in my affliction. 31And if too my handmaids have often said, Oh that we might be satisfied with his flesh; (whereas I was very kind: 32for the stranger did not lodge without, and my door was opened to every one that came:) 33or if too having sinned unintentionally, I hid my sin; 34(for I did not stand in awe of a great multitude, so as not to declare boldly before them:) and if too I permitted a poor man to go out of my door with an empty bosom: 35(Oh that I had a hearer,) and if I had not feared the hand of the Lord; and [as to] the written charge which I had against any one, 36I would place [it] as a chaplet on my shoulders, and read it. 37And if I did not read it and return it, having taken nothing from the debtor: 38If at any time the land groaned against me, and if its furrows mourned together; 39and if I ate its strength alone without price, and if too I grieved the heart of the owner of the soil, by taking [aught] from [him]: 40then let the nettle come up to me instead of wheat, and a bramble instead of barley. And Job ceased speaking. Chapter 321And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them. 2Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord. 3And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man. 4But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he. 5And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath. 6And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder; wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge. 7And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom: 8but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches. 9The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgment. 10Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know. 11Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried [the matter] with words: 12and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument, 13lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord. 14And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words. 15They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking. 16I waited, (for I had not spoken,) because they stood still, they answered not. 17And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak, 18for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me. 19And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows. 20I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself. 21For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal. 22For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 97:1–3(MT: 98)
MT Psalm 98 = LXX Psalm 97 (standard offset).
1A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns;—let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved. 2The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people. 3Let them give thanks to thy great name; for it is terrible and holy.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:17–18
17Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day. 18For if thou shouldest keep these things, thou shalt have posterity; and thine hope shall not be removed.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 2:1–16
1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
