Old TestamentSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Jeremiah 35:1–36:32
1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Sedekias king of Juda, in the fifth month, [that] Ananias the false prophet, the son of Azor, from Gabaon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying, 2Thus says the Lord; I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3Yet two full years, and I will return into this place the vessels of the house of the Lord, 4and Jechonias, and the captivity of Juda: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. 5Then Jeremias spoke to Ananias in the sight of all the people, and in the sight of the priests that stood in the house of the Lord, 6and Jeremias said, May the Lord indeed do thus; may he confirm your word which you do prophesy, to return the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the captivity, out of Babylon to this place. 7Nevertheless hear you⌃ the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people. 8The prophets that were before me and before you of old, also prophesied over much country, and against great kingdoms, concerning war. 9[As for] the prophet that has prophesied for peace, when the word has come [to pass], they shall know the prophet whom the Lord has sent them in truth. 10Then Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias in the sight of all the people, and broke them to pieces. 11And Ananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said the Lord; Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks of all the nations. And Jeremias went his way. 12And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had broken the yokes off his neck, saying, 13Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus says the Lord; You have broken the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron. 14For thus said the Lord, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all the nations, that they may serve the king of Babylon. 15And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent you; and you have caused this people to trust in unrighteousness. 16Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I [will] cast you off from the face of the earth: this year you shall die. 17So he died in the seventh month. Chapter 361And these are the words of the book which Jeremias sent from Jerusalem to the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the false prophets, even an epistle to Babylon for the captivity, and to all the people; 2(after the departure of Jechonias the king and the queen, and the eunuchs, and every freeman, and bondman, and artificer, out of Jerusalem;) 3by the hand of Eleasan son of Saphan, and Gamarias son of Chelcias, (whom Sedekias king of Juda sent to the king of Babylon to Babylon) saying, 4Thus said the Lord God of Israel concerning the captivity which I caused to be carried away from Jerusalem; 5Build you⌃ houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruits thereof; 6and take you⌃ wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and be multiplied, and be not diminished. 7And seek the peace of the land into which I have carried you captive, and you⌃ shall pray to the Lord for the people: for in its peace you⌃ shall [have] peace. 8For thus says the Lord; Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and listen not to your dreams which you⌃ dream. 9For they prophesy to you unrighteous [words] in my name; and I sent them not. 10For thus said the Lord; When seventy years shall be on the point of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm my words to you, to bring back your people to this place. 11And I will devise for you a device of peace, and not evil, to bestow upon you these [good things]. 12And do you⌃ pray to me, and I will listen to you: and do you⌃ earnestly seek me, and you⌃ shall find me; 13for you⌃ shall seek me with your whole heart. 14And I will appear to you: 15whereas you⌃ said, The Lord has appointed for us prophets in Babylon: 21Thus says the Lord concerning Achiab, and concerning Sedekias; Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall strike them in your sight. 22And they shall make of them a curse in all the captivity of Juda in Babylon, saying, The Lord do to you as he did to Sedekias, and as he did to Achiab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire; 23because of the iniquity which they wrought in Israel, and [because] they committed adultery with the wives of their fellow-citizens; and spoke a word in my name, which I did not command them [to speak], and I am witness, says the Lord. 24And to Samaeas the Aelamite you shall say, 25I sent you not in my name: and to Sophonias the priest the son of Maasaeas say you, 26The Lord has made you priest in the place of Jodae the priest, to be ruler in the house of the Lord over every prophet, and to every madman, and you shall put them in prison, and into the dungeon. 27And now therefore have you⌃ reviled together Jeremias of Anathoth, who prophesied to you? 28Did he not send for this purpose? for in the course of this month he sent to you to Babylon, saying, It is far off: build you⌃ houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 29And Sophonias read the book in the ears of Jeremias. 30Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying, 31Send to the captivity, saying, Thus says the Lord concerning Samaeas the Aelamite, Since Samaeas has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity, 32therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will visit Samaeas, and his family: and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do to you: they shall not see [it].

Psalm 118:65–72(MT: 119)
MT Psalm 119 = LXX Psalm 118 (standard offset).
65You have wrought kindly with your servant, o Lord, according to your word. 66Teach me kindness, and instruction, and knowledge: for I have believed your commandments. 67Before I was afflicted, I transgressed; therefore have I kept your word. 68Good are you, O Lord; therefore in your goodness teach me your ordinances. 69The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me: but I will search out your commandments with all my heart. 70Their heart has been curdled like milk; but I have meditated on your law. 71[It is] good for me that you have afflicted me; that I might learn your ordinances. 72The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 27:22
22Though you scourge a fool, disgracing him in the midst of the council, you will [still] in no wise remove his folly from him.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Timothy 4:1–16
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 10For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 11These things command and teach. 12Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
