Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Jeremiah 33:1–34:22
1In the beginning of the Reign of King Joakim Son of Josias there came this Word from the Lord. 2Thus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and thou shalt declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded thee to speak to them; abate not one word. 3Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices. 4And thou shalt say, Thus said the Lord; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you, 5to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yea, I sent them, but ye hearkened not to me; 6then will I make this house as Selo, and I will make [this] city a curse to all the nations of all the earth. 7And the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord. 8And it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying, 9Thou shalt surely die, because thou hast prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord. 10And the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate. 11Then the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgment of death [is due] to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. 12Then Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which ye have heard. 13And now amend your ways and your works, and hearken to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you. 14And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you. 15But know for a certainty, that if ye slay me, ye bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words. 16Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgment of death is not [due] to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God. 17And there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people, 18Michæas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus saith the Lord; Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees. 19Did Ezekias and all Juda in any way slay him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he [had] pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls. 20And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samæas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias. 21And king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to slay him; and Urias heard [it] and went into Egypt. 22And the king sent men into Egypt; 23and they brought him thence, and brought him in to the king; and he smote him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people. 24Nevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed. Chapter 342Thus said the Lord; Make to thyself bonds and yokes, and put [them] about thy neck, 3and thou shalt send them to the king of Idumea, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hands of their messengers that come to meet them at Jerusalem to Sedekias king of Juda. 4And thou shalt commission them to say to their lords, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your lords; 5I have made the earth by my great power, and with my high arm, and I will give it to whomsoever it shall seem [good] in mine eyes. 6I gave the earth to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labour for him. 8And the nation and kingdom, all that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword and famine will I visit them, saith the Lord, until they are consumed by his hand. 9And hearken ye not to your false prophets, nor to them that divine to you, nor to them that foretel events by dreams to you, nor to your auguries, nor your sorcerers, that say, Ye shall by no means work for the king of Babylon: 10for they prophesy lies to you, to remove you far from your land. 11But the nation which shall put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will even leave it upon its land, and it shall serve him, and dwell in it. 12I spoke also to Sedekias king of Juda according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into [the yoke], 14and serve the king of Babylon. For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you, 15for I sent them not, saith the Lord; and they prophesy [in] my name unjustly, that I might destroy you, and ye should perish, and your prophets, who unrighteously prophesy lies to you. 16I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord; Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon: for they prophesy to you unrighteous [words]. I sent them not. 18If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet me, for thus has the Lord said. 19And as for the remaining vessels, 20which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jechonias prisoner out of Jerusalem, 22they shall go into Babylon, saith the Lord.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 118:57–64(MT: 119)
MT Psalm 119 = LXX Psalm 118 (standard offset).
57Thou art my portion, O Lord: I said that I would keep thy law. 58I besought thy favour with my whole heart: have mercy upon me according to thy word. 59I thought on thy ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies. 60I prepared myself, (and was not terrified,) to keep thy commandments. 61The snares of sinners entangled me: but I forgot not thy law. 62At midnight I arose, to give thanks to thee for the judgments of thy righteousness. 63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy commandments. 64O Lord, the earth is full of thy mercy: teach me thine ordinances.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 27:21
21Fire is the trial for silver and gold; and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him. The heart of the transgressor seeks after mischiefs; but an upright heart seeks knowledge.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Timothy 3:1–16
1This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
