Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 35:1–36:33
1And Elius resumed and said, 2What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord? 4I will answer thee, and thy three friends. 5Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above thee. 6If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do? and if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform? 7And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? or what shall he receive of thy hand? 8Thy ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to thee; or thy righteousness a son of man. 9They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many. 10But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches; 11who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky? 12There they shall cry, and none shall hearken, even because of the insolence of wicked men. 13For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One. 14He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is [possible] even now. 15For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass. 16Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words. Chapter 361And Elius further continued, and said, 2Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach thee: for there is yet speech in me. 3Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works, 4I will speak just things truly, and thou shalt not unjustly receive unjust words. 5But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom, 6he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor. 7He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted. 8But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty. 9And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence. 10But he will hearken to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness. 11If they should hear and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour. 12But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient. 13And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves]; they will not cry, because he has bound them. 14Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers [of death]. 15Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek. 16And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy: 17[there is] a deep gulf [and] a rushing stream beneath it, and thy table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous; 18but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities. 19Let not [thy] mind willingly turn thee aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress. 20And draw not forth all the mighty [men] by night, so that the people should go up instead of them. 21But take heed lest thou do that which is wrong: for of this thou hast made choice because of poverty. 22Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is? 23And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, He has wrought injustice? 24Remember that his works are great [beyond] those which men have attempted. 25Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded. 26Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know [him]: the number of his years is even infinite. 27And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud. 28The ancient [heavens] shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals: he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest. [Yet] by all these things thy understanding is not astonished, neither is thy mind disturbed in [thy] body. 29And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, [or] the measure of his tabernacle; 30behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea. 31For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength. 32He has hidden the light in [his] hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing [cloud]. 33The Lord will declare concerning this [to] his friend: [but there is] a portion also for unrighteousness.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 98:1–9(MT: 99)
MT Psalm 99 = LXX Psalm 98 (standard offset).
1A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns;—let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved. 2The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people. 3Let them give thanks to thy great name; for it is terrible and holy. 4And the king's honour loves judgment; thou hast prepared equity, thou hast wrought judgment and justice in Jacob. 5Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship [at] his footstool; for he is holy. 6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he heard them. 7He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which he gave them. 8O Lord our God, thou heardest them; O God, thou becamest propitious to them, though thou didst take vengeance on all their devices. 9Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:22–25
22Hearken, [my] son, to thy father which begot thee, and despise not [thy mother] because she is grown old. 24A righteous father brings up [his children] well; and his soul rejoices over a wise son. 25Let thy father and thy mother rejoice over thee, and let her that bore thee be glad.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 4:1–21
1Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 5Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 6And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 8Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. 9For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; 12And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 13Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. 15For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 17For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. 18Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. 19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. 20For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 21What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
