Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Jeremiah 31:1–32:44
1Thus has the Lord said concerning Moab, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame. 2There is no longer any healing for Moab, [nor] glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from [being] a nation, and she shall be completely still: after thee shall go a sword; 3for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin. 4Moab is ruined, proclaim [it] to Zogora: 5for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; ye have heard a cry of destruction. 6Flee ye, and save your lives, and ye shall be as a wild ass in the desert. 7Since thou hast trusted in thy strong-hold, therefore thou shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together. 8And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said. 9Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence [shall there be] an inhabitant for her? 10Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood. 11Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out [his liquor] from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not. 12Therefore, behold, his days come, saith the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder. 13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bæthel their hope, having trusted in them. 14How will ye say, We are strong, and men strong for war? 15Moab is ruined, [even] his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter. 16The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly [to vengeance]. 17Shake [the head] at him, all ye that are round about him; all [of you] utter his name; say ye, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence! 18Come down from [thy] glory, and sit down in a damp place: Dæbon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against thee one to ravage thy strong-hold. 19Stand by the way, and look, thou that dwellest in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened? 20Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished. 21And judgment is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas, 22and upon Dæbon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Dæthlathaim, 23and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gæmol, and upon the house of Maon, 24and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near. 25The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed. 26Make ye him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing-stock. 27For surely Israel was to thee a laughing-stock, and was found among thy thefts, because thou didst fight against him. 28The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and dwelt in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave. 29And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up. 30But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus? 31Therefore howl ye for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for thee, 32O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: thy branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon thy fruits, [and] upon thy grape-gatherers. 33Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in thy presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy. 34From the cry of Esebon even to Ætam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up. 35And I will destroy Moab, saith the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods. 36Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what [every] man has gained has perished from him. 37They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [the breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth. 38And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets [shall be mourning]: for I have broken [him], saith the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless. 39How has he changed! how has Moab turned [his] back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing-stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him. 40For thus said the Lord; 41Carioth is taken, and the strong-holds have been taken together. 42And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord. 43A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab. 44He that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation. Chapter 3215Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Take the cup of this unmixed wine from mine hand, and thou shalt cause all the nations to drink, to whom I send thee. 16And they shall drink, and vomit, and be mad, because of the sword which I send among them. 17So I took the cup out of the Lord's hand, and caused the nations to whom the Lord sent me to drink: 18Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings of Juda, and his princes, to make them a desert place, a desolation, and a hissing; 19and Pharao king of Egypt, and his servants, and his nobles, and all his people; 20and all the mingled [people], and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus, 21and Idumea, and the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, 22and the kings of Tyre, and the kings of Sidon, and the kings in the [country] beyond the sea, 23and Dædan, and Thæman, and Ros, and every one that is shaved round about the face, 24and all the mingled [people] lodging in the wilderness, 25and all the kings of Ælam, and all the kings of the Persians, 26and all the kings from the north, the far and the near, each one with his brother, and all the kingdoms which are on the face of the earth. 27And thou shalt say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty; Drink ye, be ye drunken; and ye shall vomit, and shall fall, and shall in nowise rise, because of the sword which I send among you. 28And it shall come to pass, when they refuse to take the cup out of thine hand, to drink it, that thou shalt say, Thus said the Lord; Ye shall surely drink. 29For I am beginning to afflict the city whereon my name is called, and ye shall by no means be held guiltless: for I am calling a sword upon all that dwell upon the earth. 30And thou shalt prophesy against them these words, and shalt say, The Lord shall speak from on high, from his sanctuary he will utter his voice; he will pronounce a declaration on his place; and these shall answer like men gathering grapes: and destruction is coming on them that dwell on the earth, 31[even] upon [the extreme] part of the earth; for the Lord [has] a controversy with the nations, he is pleading with all flesh, and the ungodly are given to the sword, saith the Lord. 32Thus said the Lord; Behold, evils are proceeding from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind goes forth from the end of the earth. 33And the slain of the Lord shall be in the day of the Lord from [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth. 34Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and lament, ye rams of the flock: for your days have been completed for slaughter, and ye shall fall as the choice rams. 35And flight shall perish from the shepherds, and safety from the rams of the flock. 36A voice of the crying of the shepherds, and a moaning of the sheep and the rams: for the Lord has destroyed their pastures. 37And the peaceable abodes that remain shall be destroyed before the fierceness of my anger. 38He has forsaken his lair, as a lion: for their land is become desolate before the great sword.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 118:49–56(MT: 119)
MT Psalm 119 = LXX Psalm 118 (standard offset).
49Remember thy words to thy servant, wherein thou hast made me hope. 50This has comforted me in mine affliction: for thine oracle has quickened me. 51The proud have transgressed exceedingly; but I swerved not from thy law. 52I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord; and was comforted. 53Despair took hold upon me, because of the sinners who forsake thy law. 54Thine ordinances were my songs in the place of my sojourning. 55I remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and kept thy law. 56This I had, because I diligently sought thine ordinances.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 27:20
20Hell and destruction are not filled; so also are the eyes of men insatiable. [He that fixes his eye is an abomination to the Lord; and the uninstructed do not restrain their tongue.]
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Timothy 2:1–15
1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
