Job 23:1–25:6
1Then Job answered and said, 2Yea, I know that pleading is out of my reach; and his hand has been made heavy upon my groaning. 3Who would then know that I might find him, and come to an end [of the matter]? 4And I would plead my own cause, and he would fill my mouth with arguments. 5And I would know the remedies which he would speak to me, and I would perceive what he would tell me. 6Though he should come on me in [his] great strength, then he would not threaten me; 7for truth and reproof are from him; and he would bring forth my judgment to an end. 8For if I shall go first, and exist no longer, still what do I know [concerning] the latter end? 9When he wrought on the left hand, then I observed [it] not: his right hand shall encompass me but I shall not see [it]. 10For he knows already my way; and he has tried me as gold. 11And I will go forth according to his commandments, for I have kept his ways; and I shall not turn aside from his commandments, 12neither shall I transgress; but I have hid his words in my bosom. 13And if too he has thus judged, who is he that has contradicted, for he has both willed [a thing] and done it. 15Therefore am I troubled at him; and when I was reproved, I thought of him. Therefore let me take good heed before him: I will consider, and be afraid of him. 16But the Lord has softened my heart, and the Almighty has troubled me. 17For I knew not that darkness would come upon me, and thick darkness has covered [me] before my face. Chapter 241But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord, 2while the ungodly have passed over the bound, carrying off the flock with the shepherd? 3They have led away the ass of the fatherless, and taken the widow's ox for a pledge. 4They have turned aside the weak from the right way: and the meek of the earth have hidden themselves together. 5And they have departed like asses in the field, having gone forth on my account according to their own order: his bread is sweet to [his] little ones. 6They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: the poor have laboured in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food. 7They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes, and they have taken away the covering of their body. 8They are wet with the drops of the mountains: they have embraced the rock, because they had no shelter. 9They have snatched the fatherless from the breast, and have afflicted the outcast. 10And they have wrongfully caused [others] to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry. 11They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, and have not known the righteous way. 12Who have cast forth [the] poor from the city and their own houses, and the soul of the children has groaned aloud. 13Why then has he not visited these? forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, and they knew not the way of righteousness, neither have they walked in their [appointed] paths? 14But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: and in the night one will be as a thief: 15and the eye of the adulterer has watched [for] the darkness, saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on his face. 16In darkness he digs through houses: by day they conceal themselves securely: they know not the light. 17For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death, for [each] will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death. 18He is swift on the face of the water: let his portion be cursed on the earth; and let their plants be laid bare. 19[Let them be] withered upon the earth; for they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless. 20Then is his sin brought to remembrance, and he vanishes like a vapour of dew: but let what he has done be recompensed to him, and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood. 21For he has not treated the barren woman well, and has had no pity on a feeble woman. 22And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: therefore when he has arisen, [a man] will not feel secure of his own life. 23When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease. 24For his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk. 25But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, and will make my words of no account? Chapter 251Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said, 2What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest? 3For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him? 4For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself? 5If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him. 6But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 95:7–10(MT: 96)
MT Psalm 96 = LXX Psalm 95 (standard offset).
7Bring to the Lord, ye families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour. 8Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts. 9Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him. 10Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:9
9Say nothing in the ears of a fool, lest at any time he sneer at thy wise words.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 15:1–24
1We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 3For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 4For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 8Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: 9And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. 10And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 11And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. 12And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. 13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 14And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 15Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, 16That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 17I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. 18For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 19Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. 22For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. 23But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you; 24Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
