Exodus 25:1–26:37
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to the children of Israel, and take first-fruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and ye shall take my first-fruits. 3And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold and silver and brass, 4and blue, and purple, and double scarlet, and fine spun linen, and goats' hair, 5and rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins, and incorruptible wood, and oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, and for the composition of incense, 7and sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the breast-plate, and the full-length robe. 8And thou shalt make me a sanctuary, and I will appear among you. 9And thou shalt make for me according to all things which I shew thee in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shalt thou make it. 10And thou shalt make the ark of testimony of incorruptible wood; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half, and the height of a cubit and a half. 11And thou shalt gild it with pure gold, thou shalt gild it within and without; and thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about. 12And thou shalt cast for it four golden rings, and shalt put them on the four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side. 13And thou shalt make staves [of] incorruptible wood, and shalt gild them with gold. 14And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark with them. 15The staves shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark. 16And thou shalt put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give thee. 17And thou shalt make a propitiatory, a lid of pure gold; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half. 18And thou shalt make two cherubs graven in gold, and thou shalt put them on both sides of the propitiatory. 19They shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other side of the propitiatory; and thou shalt make the two cherubs on the two sides. 20The cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be toward each other, the faces of the cherubs shall be toward the propitiatory. 21And thou shalt set the propitiatory on the ark above, and thou shalt put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give thee. 22And I will make myself known to thee from thence, and I will speak to thee above the propitiatory between the two cherubs, which are upon the ark of testimony, even in all things which I shall charge thee concerning the children of Israel. 23And thou shalt make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half. 24And thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about, and thou shalt make for it a crown of an hand-breadth round about. 25And thou shalt make a twisted wreath for the crown round about. 26And thou shalt make four golden rings; and thou shalt put the four rings upon the four parts of its feet under the crown. 27And the rings shall be for bearings for the staves, that they may bear the table with them. 28And thou shalt make the staves of incorruptible wood, and thou shalt gild them with pure gold; and the table shall be borne with them. 29And thou shalt make its dishes and its censers, and its bowls, and its cups, with which thou shalt offer drink-offerings: of pure gold shalt thou make them. 30And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me continually. 31And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold; thou shalt make the candlestick of graven work: its stem and its branches, and its bowls and its knops and its lilies shall be of one piece. 32And six branches proceeding sideways, three branches of the candlestick from one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side. 33And three bowls fashioned like almonds, on each branch a knop and a lily; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick, 34and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds, in each branch knops and the flowers of the same. 35A knop under two branches out of it, and a knop under four branches out of it; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick; and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds. 36Let the knops and the branches be of one piece, altogether graven of one piece of pure gold. 37And thou shalt make its seven lamps: and thou shalt set on [it] the lamps, and they shall shine from one front. 38And thou shalt make its funnel and its snuff-dishes of pure gold. 39All these articles [shall be] a talent of pure gold. 40See, thou shalt make them according to the pattern shewed thee in the mount. Chapter 261And thou shalt make the tabernacle, ten curtains of fine linen spun, and blue and purple, and scarlet spun [with] cherubs; thou shalt make them with work of a weaver. 2The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and one curtain shall be the breadth of four cubits: there shall be the same measure to all the curtains. 3And the five curtains shall be joined one to another, and [the other] five curtains shall be closely connected the one with the other. 4And thou shalt make for them loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, on one side for the coupling, and so shalt thou make on the edge of the outer curtain for the second coupling. 5Fifty loops shalt thou make for one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make on the part of the curtain answering to the coupling of the second, opposite [each other], corresponding to each other at each point. 6And thou shalt make fifty golden rings; and thou shalt join the curtains to each other with the rings, and it shall be one tabernacle. 7And thou shalt make for a covering of the tabernacle skins with the hair on, thou shalt make them eleven skins. 8The length of one skin thirty cubits, and the breadth of one skin four cubits: there shall be the same measure to the eleven skins. 9And thou shalt join the five skins together, and the six skins together; and thou shalt double the sixth skin in front of the tabernacle. 10And thou shalt make fifty loops on the border of one skin, which is in the midst for the joinings; and thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the second skin that joins it. 11And thou shalt make fifty brazen rings; and thou shalt join the rings by the loops, and thou shalt join the skins, and they shall be one. 12And thou shalt fix at the end that which is over in the skins of the tabernacle; the half of the skin that is left shalt thou fold over, according to the overplus of the skins of the tabernacle; thou shalt fold it over behind the tabernacle. 13A cubit on this side, and a cubit on that side of that which remains of the skins, of the length of the skins of the tabernacle: it shall be folding over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and that side, that it may cover it. 14And thou shalt make for a covering of the tabernacle rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins as coverings above. 15And thou shalt make the posts of the tabernacle of incorruptible wood. 16Of ten cubits shalt thou make one post, and the breadth of one post of a cubit and a half. 17Two joints shalt thou make in one post, answering the one to the other: so shalt thou do to all the posts of the tabernacle. 18And thou shalt make posts to the tabernacle, twenty posts on the north side. 19And thou shalt make to the twenty posts forty silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides. 20And for the next side, toward the south, twenty posts, 21and their forty silver sockets: two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides. 22And on the back of the tabernacle at the part which is toward the [west] thou shalt make six posts. 23And thou shalt make two posts on the corners of the tabernacle behind. 24And it shall be equal below, they shall be equal toward the same part from the heads to one joining; so shalt thou make to both the two corners, let them be equal. 25And there shall be eight posts, and their sixteen silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post. 26And thou shalt make bars of incorruptible wood; five to one post on one side of the tabernacle, 27and five bars to one post on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars to the hinder posts, on the side of the tabernacle toward the sea. 28And let the bar in the middle between the posts go through from the one side to the other side. 29And thou shalt gild the posts with gold; and thou shalt make golden rings, into which thou shalt introduce the bars, and thou shalt gild the bars with gold. 30And thou shalt set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shewed thee in the mount. 31And thou shalt make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet woven, and fine linen spun: thou shalt make it cherubs [in] woven work. 32And thou shalt set it upon four posts of incorruptible wood overlaid with gold; and their tops [shall be] gold, and their four sockets [shall be] of silver. 33And thou shalt put the veil on the posts, and thou shalt carry in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall make a separation for you between the holy and the holy of holies. 34And thou shalt screen with the veil the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies. 35And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the candlestick opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle; and thou shalt put the table on the north side of the tabernacle. 36And thou shalt make a screen for the door of the tabernacle of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet and fine linen spun, the work of the embroiderer. 37And thou shalt make for the veil five posts, and thou shalt gild them with gold; and their chapiters shall be gold; and thou shalt cast for them five brazen sockets.

MT Psalm 19 = LXX Psalm 18 (standard offset).
7Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty. 8Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God. 9They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright. 10O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon thee.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 6:32–35
32But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul. 33He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off. 34For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35He will not forego [his] enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled for many gifts.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 24:1–28
1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains: 17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before. 26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
