Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 17:1–18:21
1I perish, carried away by the wind, and I seek for burial, and obtain [it] not. 2Weary I intreat; and what have I done? and strangers have stolen my goods. 3Who is this? let him join hands with me. 4For thou hast hid their heart from wisdom; therefore thou shalt not exalt them. 5He shall promise mischief to [his] companions: but [their] eyes have failed for [their] children. 6But thou hast made me a byword among the nations, and I am become a scorn to them. 7For my eyes are dimmed through pain; I have been grievously beset by all. 8Wonder has seized true men upon this; and let the just rise up against the transgressor. 9But let the faithful hold on his own way, and let him that is pure of hands take courage. 10Howbeit, do ye all strengthen [yourselves] and come now, for I do not find truth in you. 11My days have passed in groaning, and my heart-strings are broken. 12I have turned the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 13For if I remain, Hades is my habitation: and my bed has been made in darkness. 14I have called upon death to be my father, and corruption [to be] my mother and sister. 15Where then is yet my hope? or [where] shall I see my good? 16Will they go down with me to Hades, or shall we go down together to the tomb? Chapter 181Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said, 2How long wilt thou continue? forbear, that we also may speak. 3For wherefore have we been silent before thee like brutes? 4Anger has possessed thee: for what if thou shouldest die; would [the earth] under heaven be desolate? or shall the mountains be overthrown from their foundations? 5But the light of the ungodly shall be quenched, and their flame shall not go up. 6His light [shall be] darkness in [his] habitation, and his lamp shall be put out with him. 7Let the meanest of men spoil his goods, and let his counsel deceive [him]. 8His foot also has been caught in a snare, [and] let it be entangled in a net. 9And let snares come upon him: he shall strengthen those that thirst for his destruction. 10His snare is hid in the earth, and that which shall take him is by the path. 11Let pains destroy him round about, and let many [enemies] come about him, 12[vex him] with distressing hunger: and a signal destruction has been prepared for him. 13Let the soles of his feet be devoured: and death shall consume his beauty. 14And let health be utterly banished from his tabernacle, and let distress seize upon him with a charge from the king. 15It shall dwell in his tabernacle in his night: his excellency shall be sown with brimstone. 16His roots shall be dried up from beneath, and his crop shall fall away from above. 17Let his memorial perish out of the earth, and his name shall be publicly cast out. 18Let [one] drive him from light into darkness. 19He shall not be known among his people, nor his house preserved on the earth. 20But strangers shall dwell in his possessions: the last groaned for him, and wonder seized the first. 21These are the houses of the unrighteous, and this is the place of them that know not the Lord.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 94:1–5(MT: 95)
MT Psalm 95 = LXX Psalm 94 (standard offset).
1When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song by David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. 2Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day. 3Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people. 4For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods. 5For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:1–3
1If thou sit to sup at the table of a prince, consider attentively the things set before thee: 2and apply thine hand, knowing that it behoves thee to prepare such [meats]: but if thou art very insatiable, 3desire not his provisions; for these belong to a false life.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 12:1–21
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 4For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 9Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
