Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 37:1–38:41
1At this also my heart is troubled, and moved out of its place. 2Hear thou a report by the anger of the Lord's wrath, and a discourse shall come out of his mouth. 3His dominion is under the whole heaven, and his light is at the extremities of the earth. 4After him shall be a cry with a [loud] voice; he shall thunder with the voice of his excellency, yet he shall not cause men to pass away, for one shall hear his voice. 5The Mighty One shall thunder wonderfully with his voice: for he has done great things which we knew not; 6commanding the snow, Be thou upon the earth, and the stormy rain, and the storm of the showers of his might. 7He seals up the hand of every man, that every man may know his own weakness. 8And the wild beasts come in under the covert, and rest in [their] lair. 9Troubles come on out of the secret chambers, and cold from the mountain-tops. 10And from the breath of the Mighty One he will send frost; and he guides the water in whatever way he pleases. 11And [if] a cloud obscures [what is] precious [to him], his light will disperse the cloud. 12And he will carry round the encircling [clouds] by his governance, to [perform] their works: whatsoever he shall command them, 13this has been appointed by him on the earth, whether for correction, [or] for his land, or if he shall find him [an object] for mercy. 14Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and be admonished of the power of the Lord. 15We know that God has disposed his works, having made light out of darkness. 16And he knows the divisions of the clouds, and the signal overthrows of the ungodly. 17But thy robe is warm, and there is quiet upon the land. 18Wilt thou establish with him [foundations] for the ancient [heavens? they are] strong as a molten mirror. 19Wherefore teach me, what shall we say to him? and let us cease from saying much. 20Have I a book or a scribe by me, that I may stand and put man to silence? 21But the light is not visible to all: it shines afar off in the heavens, as that which is from him in the clouds. 22From the north [come] the clouds shining like gold: in these great are the glory and honour of the Almighty; 23and we do not find another his equal in strength: [as for] him that judges justly, dost thou not think that he listens? 24Wherefore men shall fear him; and the wise also in heart shall fear him. Chapter 381And after Elius had ceased from speaking, the Lord spoke to Job through the whirlwind and clouds, [saying], 2Who is this that hides counsel from me, and confines words in [his] heart, and thinks to conceal [them] from me? 3Gird thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me. 4Where wast thou when I founded the earth? tell me now, if thou hast knowledge, 5who set the measures of it, if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it? 6On what are its rings fastened? and who is he that laid the corner-stone upon it? 7When the stars were made, all my angels praised me with a loud voice. 8And I shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed out, coming forth out of its mother's womb. 9And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist. 10And I set bounds to it, surrounding it with bars and gates. 11And I said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come, but thou shalt not go beyond, but thy waves shall be confined within thee. 12Or did I order the morning light in thy time; and [did] the morning star [then first] see his appointed place; 13to lay hold of the extremities of the earth, to cast out the ungodly out of it? 14Or didst thou take clay of the ground, and form a living creature, and set it with the power of speech upon the earth? 15And hast thou removed light from the ungodly, and crushed the arm of the proud? 16Or hast thou gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep? 17And do the gates of death open to thee for fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw thee? 18And hast thou been instructed in the breadth of the [whole earth] under heaven? tell me now, what is the extent of it? 19And in what kind of a land does the light dwell? and of what kind is the place of darkness? 20If thou couldest bring me to their [utmost] boundaries, and if also thou knowest their paths; 21I know then that thou wert born at that time, and the number of thy years is great. 22But hast thou gone to the treasures of snow? and hast thou seen the treasures of hail? 23And is there a store [of them], for thee against the time of [thine] enemies, for the day of wars and battle? 24And whence proceeds the frost? or [whence] is the south wind dispersed over the [whole world] under heaven? 25And who prepared a course for the violent rain, and a way for the thunders; 26to rain upon the land where [there is] no man, the wilderness, where there is not a man in it; so as to feed the untrodden and uninhabited [land], 27and cause it to send forth a crop of green herbs? 28Who is the rain's father? and who has generated the drops of dew? 29And out of whose womb comes the ice? and who has produced the frost in the sky, 30which descends like flowing water? who has terrified the face of the ungodly? 31And dost thou understand the band of Pleias, and hast thou opened the barrier of Orion? 32Or wilt thou reveal Mazuroth in his season, and the evening star with his rays? Wilt thou guide them? 33And knowest thou the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven? 34And wilt thou call a cloud with thy voice, and will it obey thee with a violent shower of much rain? 35And wilt thou send lightnings, and they shall go? and shall they say to thee, What is [thy pleasure]? 36And who has given to women skill in weaving, or knowledge of embroidery? 37And who is he that numbers the clouds in wisdom, and has bowed the heaven [down] to the earth? 38For it is spread out as dusty earth, and I have cemented it as one hewn stone to another. 39And wilt thou hunt a prey for the lions? and satisfy the desires of the serpents? 40For they fear in their lairs, and lying in wait couch in the woods. 41And who has prepared food for the raven? for its young ones wander and cry to the Lord, in search of food.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 99:1–5(MT: 100)
MT Psalm 100 = LXX Psalm 99 (standard offset).
1A Psalm for Thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. 2Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with exultation. 3Know that the Lord he is God; he made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with hymns; give thanks to him, praise his name. 5For the Lord is good, his mercy is for ever; and his truth [endures] to generation and generation.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:26–28
26[My] son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. 27For a strange house is a vessel full of holes; and a strange well is narrow. 28For such a one shall perish suddenly; and every transgressor shall be cut off.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 5:1–13
1It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 2And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
