Jeremiah 45:1–46:28
1And Saphanias the son of Nathan, and Godolias the son of Paschor, and Joachal the son of Semelias, heard the words which Jeremias spoke to the people, saying, 2Thus says the Lord; He that remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine: but he that goes out to the Chaldeans shall live; and his soul shall be given him for a found treasure, and he shall live. 3For thus says the Lord; This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the host of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it. 4And they said to the king, Let that man, we pray you, be slain, for he weakens the hands of the fighting men that are left in the city, and the hands of all the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man does not prophesy peace to this people, but evil. 5Then the king said, Behold, he is in your hands. For the king could not resist them. 6And they cast him into the dungeon of Melchias the king's son, which was in the court of the prison; and they let him down into the pit: and there was no water in the pit, but mire: and he was in the mire. 7And Abdemelech the Ethiopian heard, (now he was in the king's household,) that they [had] put Jeremias into the dungeon; and the king was in the gate of Benjamin: 8and he went forth to him, and spoke to the king and said, 9You have done evil in what you have done to kill this man with hunger: for there is no more bread in the city. 10And the king commanded Abdemelech, saying, Take with you hence thirty men, and bring him up out of the dungeon, that he die not. 11So Abdemelech took the men and went into the underground [part of the] king's house, and took thence old rags and old ropes, and threw them to Jeremias into the dungeon. 12And he said, Put these under the ropes. And Jeremias did so. 13And they drew him with the ropes, and lifted him out of the dungeon: and Jeremias remained in the court of the prison. 14Then the king sent, and called him to himself into the house of Aselisel, which was in the house of the Lord: and the king said to him, I will ask you a question, and I pray you hide nothing from me. 15And Jeremias said to the king, If I tell you, will you not certainly put me to death? and if I give you counsel, you will not at all listen to me. 16And the king swore to him, saying, [As] the Lord lives who gave us this soul, I will not kill you, neither will I give you into the hands of these men. 17And Jeremias said to him, Thus says the Lord; If you will indeed go forth to the captains of the king of Babylon, your soul shall live, and this city shall certainly not be burnt with fire; and you shall live, and your house. 18But if you will not go forth this city shall be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall by no means escape. 19And the king said to Jeremias, I consider the Jews that have gone over to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hands, and they mock me. 20And Jeremias said, They shall in no wise deliver you up. Hear the word of the Lord which I speak to you; and it shall be better for you, and your soul shall live. 21But if you will not go forth, this is the word which the Lord has shown me. 22And, behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Juda were brought forth to the princes of the king of Babylon; and they said, The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and will prevail against you; and they shall cause your foot to slide and fail, they have turned back from you. 23And they shall bring forth your wives and your children to the Chaldeans: and you shall by no means escape, for you shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city shall be burnt. 24Then the king said to him, Let no man know [any] of these words, and certainly you shall not die. 25And if the princes shall hear that I have spoken to you, and they come to you, and say to you, Tell us, what said the king to you? hide [it] not from us, and we will in no wise kill you, and what said the king to you? 26Then you shall say to them, I brought my supplication before the presence of the king, that he would not send me back into the house of Jonathan, that I should die there. 27And all the princes came to Jeremias, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words, which the king had commanded him. And they were silent, because the word of the Lord was not heard. 28And Jeremias remained in the court of the prison, until the time when Jerusalem was taken. Chapter 461And it came to pass in the ninth month of Sedekias king of Juda, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. 2And in the eleventh year of Sedekiass, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken [up]. 3And all the leaders of the king of Babylon went in, and sat in the middle gate, Marganasar, and Samagoth, and Nabusachar, and Nabusaris, Nagargas, Naserrabamath, and the rest of the leaders of the king of Babylon, 14and they sent, and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison, and gave him [in charge] to Godolias the son of Achicam, the son of Saphan: and they brought him out, and he sat in the midst of the people. 15And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in the court of the prison, saying, 16Go and say to Abdemelech the Ethiopian, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good. 17But I will save you in that day, and I will by no means deliver you into the hands of the men before whom you are afraid. 18For I will surely save you, and you shall by no means fall by the sword; and you shall find your life, because you did trust in me, says the Lord.

Psalm 118:105–112(MT: 119)
MT Psalm 119 = LXX Psalm 118 (standard offset).
105Your law is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths. 106I have sworn and determined to keep the judgments of your righteousness. 107I have been very greatly afflicted, O Lord: quicken me, according to your word. 108Accept, I pray you, O Lord, the free will offerings of my mouth, and teach me your judgments. 109My soul is continually in your hands; and I have not forgotten your law. 110Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from your commandments. 111I have inherited your testimonies for ever; for they are the joy of my heart. 112I have inclined my heart to perform your ordinances for ever, in return [for your mercies].
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 28:4
4so they that forsake the law praise ungodliness; but they that love the law fortify themselves with a wall.
New TestamentKing James Version
2 Timothy 3:1–17
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
