Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 27:1–28:28
1And Job further continued and said in his parable, 2[As] God lives, who has thus judged me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul; 3verily, while my breath is yet in [me], and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils, 4my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts. 5Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence, 6but keeping fast to [my] righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing amiss. 7Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors. 8For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord [and] be saved? 9Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him, 10has he any confidence before him? or will [God] hear him as he calls upon him? 11Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: I will not lie concerning the things which are with the Almighty. 12Behold, ye all know that ye are adding vanity to vanity. 13This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty. 14And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg. 15And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows. 16Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay; 17all these things shall the righteous gain, and the truehearted shall possess his wealth. 18And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web. 19The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not. 20Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night. 21And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place. 22And [God] shall cast [trouble] upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. 23He shall cause [men] to clap their hands against them, and shall hiss him out of his place. Chapter 281For there is a place for the silver, whence it comes, and a place for the gold, whence it is refined. 2For iron comes out of the earth, and brass is hewn out like stone. 3He has set a bound to darkness, and he searches out every limit: a stone [is] darkness, and the shadow of death. 4There is a cutting off of the torrent by reason of dust: so they that forget the right way are weakened; they are removed from [among] men. 5[As for] the earth, out of it shall come bread: under it has been turned up as it were fire. 6Her stones are the place of the sapphire: and [her] dust [supplies] man with gold. 7[There is] a path, the fowl has not known it, neither has the eye of the vulture seen it: 8neither have the sons of the proud trodden it, a lion has not passed upon it. 9He has stretched forth his hand on the sharp [rock], and turned up mountains by the roots: 10and he has interrupted the whirlpools of rivers, and mine eye has seen every precious thing. 11And he has laid bare the depths of rivers, and has brought his power to light. 12But whence has wisdom been discovered? and what is the place of knowledge? 13A mortal has not known its way, neither indeed has it been discovered among men. 14The depth said, It is not in me: and the sea said, It is not with me. 15One shall not give fine gold instead of it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it. 16Neither shall it be compared with gold of Sophir, with the precious onyx and sapphire. 17Gold and crystal shall not be equalled to it, neither shall vessels of gold be its exchange. 18Coral and fine pearl shall not be mentioned: but do thou esteem wisdom above the most precious things. 19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equalled to it; it shall not be compared with pure gold. 20Whence then is wisdom found? and of what kind is the place of understanding? 21It has escaped the notice of every man, and has been hidden from the birds of the sky. 22Destruction and Death said, We have heard the report of it. 23God has well ordered the way of it, and he knows the place of it. 24For he surveys the whole [earth] under heaven, knowing the things in the earth: 25all that he has made; the weight of the winds, the measures of the water. 26When he made [them], thus he saw and numbered them, and made a way for the pealing of the thunder. 27Then he saw it, and declared it: he prepared it [and] traced it out. 28And he said to man, Behold, godliness is wisdom; and to abstain from evil is understanding.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 96:1–6(MT: 97)
MT Psalm 97 = LXX Psalm 96 (standard offset).
1For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice. 2Cloud and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne. 3Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about. 4His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled. 5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:13–14
13Refrain not from chastening a child; for if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die. 14For thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from death.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 16:1–27
1I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: 2That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also. 3Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: 4Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. 5Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. 6Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. 7Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. 8Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. 9Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 10Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus’ household. 11Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord. 12Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord. 13Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. 15Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them. 16Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you. 17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 19For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. 20And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 21Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. 22I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. 23Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. 24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 25Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.
