Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 13:1–14:22
1Behold, mine eye has seen these things, and mine ear has heard [them]. 2And I know all that ye too know; and I have not less understanding than you. 3Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, and I will reason before him, if he will. 4But ye are all bad physicians, and healers of diseases. 5But would that ye were silent, and it would be wisdom to you in the end. 6But hear ye the reasoning of my mouth, and attend to the judgment of my lips. 7Do ye not speak before the Lord, and utter deceit before him? 8Or will ye draw back? nay, do ye yourselves be judges. 9For [it were] well if he would thoroughly search you: for though doing all things [in your power] ye should attach yourselves to him, 10he will not reprove you at all the less: but if moreover ye should secretly respect persons, 11shall not his whirlpool sweep you round, and terror from him fall upon you? 12And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, and your body [like a body] of clay. 13Be silent, that I may speak, and cease from [mine] anger, 14while I may take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand. 15Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, verily I will speak, and plead before him. 16And this shall turn to me for salvation; for fraud shall have no entrance before him. 17Hear, hear ye my words, for I will declare in your hearing. 18Behold, I am near my judgment: I know that I shall appear evidently just. 19For who is he that shall plead with me, that I should now be silent, and expire? 20But grant me two things: then I will not hide myself from thy face. 21Withhold [thine] hand from me: and let not thy fear terrify me. 22Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: or thou shalt speak, and I will give thee an answer. 23How many are my sins and my transgressions? teach me what they are. 24Wherefore hidest thou thyself from me, and deemest me thine enemy? 25Wilt thou be startled [at me], as [at] a leaf shaken by the wind? or wilt thou set thyself against me as against grass borne upon the breeze? 26For thou hast written evil things against me, and thou hast compassed me with the sins of my youth. 27And thou hast placed my foot in the stocks; and thou hast watched all my works, and hast penetrated to my heels. 28[I am as] that which waxes old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment. Chapter 141For a mortal born of a woman [is] short-lived, and full of wrath. 2Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and cannot continue. 3Hast thou not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgment before thee? 4For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one; 5if even his life should be [but] one day upon the earth: and his months are numbered by him: thou hast appointed [him] for a time, and he shall by no means exceed [it]. 6Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, [though] as a hireling. 7For there is hope for a tree, even if it should be cut down, [that] it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail. 8For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock; 9it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted. 10But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more. 11For the sea wastes in [length of] time, and a river fails and is dried up. 12And man that has lain down [in death] shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep. 13For oh that thou hadst kept me in the grave, and hadst hidden me until thy wrath should cease, and thou shouldest set me a time in which thou wouldest remember me! 14For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again? 15Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: but do not thou reject the work of thine hands. 16But thou hast numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape thee? 17And thou hast sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares. 18And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its place. 19The waters wear the stones, and waters falling headlong [overflow] a heap of the earth: and thou destroyest the hope of man. 20Thou drivest him to an end, and he is gone: thou settest thy face against him, and sendest him away; 21and though his children be multiplied, he knows [it] not; and if they be few, he is not aware. 22But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 93:12–19(MT: 94)
MT Psalm 94 = LXX Psalm 93 (standard offset).
12Blessed is the man whomsoever thou shalt chasten, O Lord, and shalt teach him out of thy law; 13to give him rest from evil days, until a pit be digged for the sinful one. 14For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance; 15until righteousness return to judgment, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Pause. 16Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity? 17If the Lord had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in Hades. 18If I said, My foot has been moved; 19thy mercy, O Lord, helped me. O Lord, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, thy consolations have soothed my soul.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 22:26–27
26Become not surety from respect of a man's person. 27For if those have not whence to give compensation, they will take the bed [that is] under thee.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 11:1–18
1I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 3Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 5Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 7What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
