Old TestamentSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Job 7:1–8:22
1Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day? 2Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay? 3So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me. 4Whenever I lie down, I say, When [will it be] day? and whenever I rise up, again [I say] when [will it be] evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning. 5And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption. 6And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope. 7Remember then that my life is breath, and my eye shall not yet again see good. 8The eye of him that sees me shall not see me [again]: your eyes are upon me, and I am no more. 9[I am] as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again: 10and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more. 11Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul. 12Am I a sea, or a serpent, that you have set a watch over me? 13I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch. 14You scare me with dreams, and do terrify me with visions. 15You will separate life from my spirit; and yet [keep] my bones from death. 16For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life [is] vain. 17For what is man, that you have magnified him? or that you give heed to him? 18Will you visit him till the morning, and judge him till [the time of] rest? 19How long do you not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle? 20If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O you that understand the mind of men? why have you made me as your accuser, and [why] am I a burden to you? 21Why have you not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more. Chapter 81Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said, 2How long will you speak these things, [how long shall] the breath of your mouth [be] abundant in words? 3Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice? 4If your sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression. 5But be you early in prayer to the Lord Almighty. 6If you are pure and true, he will listen to your supplication, and will restore to you the habitation of righteousness. 7Though then your beginning should be small, yet your end should be unspeakably great. 8For ask of the former generation, and search diligently among the race of [our] fathers: 9(for we are of yesterday, and know nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow:) 10shall not these teach you, and report [to you], and bring out words from [their] heart? 11Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture? 12When it is yet on the root, and [though] it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture? 13Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish. 14For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web. 15If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain. 16For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his dung-heap. 17He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the mist of flints. 18If [God] should destroy [him], his place shall deny him. Have you not seen such things, 19that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow. 20For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly. 21But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving. 22But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 91:8–15(MT: 92)
MT Psalm 92 = LXX Psalm 91 (standard offset).
8But you, O Lord, are most high for ever. 9For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and my old age with rich mercy. 11And my eye has seen my enemies, and my ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me. 12The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus. 13They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare 15that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 22:17–21
17Incline your ear to the words of wise men: hear also my word, and apply your heart, 18that you may know that they are good: and if you lay them to heart, they shall also gladden you on your lips. 19That your hope may be in the Lord, and he may make your way known to you. 20And do you too repeatedly record them for yourself on the table of your heart, for counsel and knowledge. 21I therefore teach you truth, and knowledge good to hear; that you may answer words of truth to them that question you.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 9:1–15
1I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 5Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. 10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
