Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
1 Chronicles 13:1–14:17
1And David took counsel with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, [even with] every commander. 2And David said to the whole congregation of Israel, If it [seem] good to you, and it should be prospered by the Lord our God, let us send to our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and let the priests the Levites who are with them in the cities of their possession [come], and let them be gathered to us. 3And let us bring over to us the ark of our God; for men have not enquired [at] it since the days of Saul. 4And all the congregation said that they would do thus; for the saying was right in the eyes of all the people. 5So David assembled all Israel, from the borders of Egypt even to the entering in of Hemath, to bring in the ark of God from the city of Jarim. 6And David brought it up: and all Israel went up to the city of David, which belonged to Juda, to bring up thence the ark of the Lord God who sits between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it]. 7And they set the ark of God on a new waggon [brought] out of the house of Aminadab: and Oza and his brethren drove the waggon. 8And David and all Israel [were] playing before the Lord with all their might, and [that] together with singers, and with harps, and with lutes, with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 9And they came as far as the threshing-floor: and Oza put forth his hand to hold the ark, because the bullock moved it from [its place]. 10And the Lord was very angry with Oza, and smote him there, because of his stretching forth his hand upon the ark: and he died there before God. 11And David was dispirited, because the Lord [had] made a breach on Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza until this day. 12And David feared God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God in to myself? 13So David brought not the ark home to himself into the city of David, but he turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite. 14And the ark of God abode in the house of Abeddara three months: and God blessed Abeddara and all that he had. Chapter 141And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him. 2And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel. 3And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters. 4And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 5and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth, 6and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie, 7and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala. 8And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them. 9And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley. 10And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hands. 11And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin. 12And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire. 13And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley. 14And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the pear trees. 15And it shall be, when thou shalt hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines. 16And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera. 17And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.

Psalm 77:1–11(MT: 78)
MT Psalm 78 = LXX Psalm 77 (standard offset).
1A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; they have polluted thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits. 2They have given the dead bodies of thy servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of thy holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth. 3They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them]. 4We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us. 5How long, O Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? 6Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon thy name. 7For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste. 8Remember not our old transgressions; let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished. 9Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for thy name's sake. 10Lest haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of thy servants' blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes. 11Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 19:20–21
20Hear, son, the instruction of thy father, that thou mayest be wise at thy latter end. 21[There are] many thoughts in a man's heart; but the counsel of the Lord abides for ever.
New TestamentKing James Version
Acts 7:22–43
22And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 23And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. 24And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: 25For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not. 26And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another? 27But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? 28Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? 29Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. 30And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. 31When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, 32Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. 33Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. 34I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. 35This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. 36He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. 37This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. 38This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: 39To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, 40Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 41And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? 43Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
