Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 41:1–42:17
1Hast thou not seen him? and hast thou not wondered at the things said [of him]? 2Dost thou not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me? 3Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine? 4I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist. 5Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breast-plate? 6Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth. 7His inwards are [as] brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone. 8One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air cannot come between them. 9They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and cannot be separated. 10At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star. 11Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad. 12Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals. 13His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. 14And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs. 15The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved. 16His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil. 17And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth. 18If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate. 19For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood. 20The bow of brass shall not wound him, he deems a slinger as grass. 21Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand. 22His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is as an immense [quantity of] clay. 23He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment, 24and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range. 25There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels. 26He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters. Chapter 421Then Job answered and said to the Lord, 2I know that thou canst do all things, and nothing is impossible with thee. 3For who is he that hides counsel from thee? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from thee? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not? 4But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask thee, and do thou teach me. 5I have heard the report of thee by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen thee. 6Wherefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes. 7And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thæmanite, Thou hast sinned, and thy two friends: for ye have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has]. 8Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt-offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but for his sake, I would have destroyed you, for ye have not spoken the truth against my servant Job. 9So Eliphaz the Thæmanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minæan, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job. 10And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before. 11And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachms' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold]. 12And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures. 13And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 14And he called the first, Day, and the second, Casia, and the third, Amalthæa's horn. 15And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren. 16And Job lived after [his] affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation. 17And Job died, an old man and full of days: and it is written that he will rise again with those whom the Lord raises up. This man is described in the Syriac book [as] living in the land of Ausis, on the borders of Idumea and Arabia: and his name before was Jobab; and having taken an Arabian wife, he begot a son whose name was Ennon. And he himself was the son of his father Zare, one of the sons of Esau, and of his mother Bosorrha, so that he was the fifth from Abraam. And these were the kings who reigned in Edom, which country he also ruled over: first, Balac, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dennaba: but after Balac, Jobab, who is called Job: and after him Asom, who was governor out of the country of Thæman: and after him Adad, the son of Barad, who destroyed Madiam in the plain of Moab; and the name of his city was Gethaim. And [his] friends who came to him were Eliphaz, of the children of Esau, king of the Thæmanites, Baldad sovereign of the Sauchæans, Sophar king of the Minæans.

Psalm 100:5–8(MT: 101)
MT Psalm 101 = LXX Psalm 100 (standard offset).
5I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread. 6By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bone has cleaved to my flesh. 7I have become like a pelican of the wilderness; 8I have become like an owl in a ruined house. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:31–35
31For if thou shouldest set thine eyes on bowls and cups, thou shalt afterwards go more naked than a pestle. 32But at last [such a one] stretches himself out as one smitten by a serpent, and venom is diffused through him as by a horned serpent. 33Whenever thine eyes shall behold a strange woman, then thy mouth shall speak perverse things. 34And thou shalt lie as in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot in a great storm. 35And thou shalt say, They smote me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 7:1–19
1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 17But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. 18Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
