Deuteronomy 13:1–14:29
1And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, 2and the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you⌃ know not; 3you⌃ shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God tries you, to know whether you⌃ love your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4You⌃ shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you⌃ shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves to him. 5And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in: so shall you abolish the evil from among you. 6And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known, 7of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other; 8you shall not consent to him, neither shall you listen to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect him: 9you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him among the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last. 10And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 11And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing among you. 12And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men saying, 13Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you⌃ knew not, 14then you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place among you, 15you shall utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; you⌃ shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it. 16And all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, it shall not be built again. 17And there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as he swore to your fathers; 18if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God. Chapter 141You⌃ are the children of the Lord your God: you⌃ shall not make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 2For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself of all the nations on the face of the earth. 3You⌃ shall not eat any abominable thing. 4These [are] the beasts which you⌃ shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats; 5the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard. 6Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud among beasts, these you⌃ shall eat. 7And these you⌃ shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are unclean to you. 8And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; you⌃ shall not eat of their flesh, you⌃ shall not touch their dead bodies. 9And these you⌃ shall eat of all that are in the water, you⌃ shall eat all that have fins and scales. 10And all that have not fins and scales you⌃ shall not eat; they are unclean to you. 11You⌃ shall eat every clean bird. 12And these of them you⌃ shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle, 13and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it, 15and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, 16and the heron, and the swan, and the stork, 17and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven, 18and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat. 19All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you⌃ shall not eat of them. 20You⌃ shall eat every clean bird. 21You⌃ shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk. 22You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field year by year. 23And you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there; you⌃ shall bring the tithe of your corn and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24And if the journey be too far for you, and you are not able to bring them, because the place [is] far from you which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there, because the Lord your God will bless you; 25then you shall sell them for money, and you shall take the money in your hands, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose. 26And you shall give the money for whatever your soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or [you shall lay it out] on strong drink, or on whatever your soul may desire, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice and your house, 27and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you. 28After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities. 29And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities; and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 36:23–29(MT: 37)
MT Psalm 37 = LXX Psalm 36 (standard offset).
23The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way. 24When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand. 25I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread. 26He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed. 27Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever. 28For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed. 29But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 12:15–16
15The ways of fools are right in their own eyes; but a wise man hearkens to counsels. 16A fool declares his wrath the same day; but a prudent man hides his own disgrace.
New TestamentKing James Version
Luke 2:25–52
25And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 26And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, 28Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 30For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 33And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 34And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 35(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 36And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 39And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 40And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? 50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
