Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 21:1–22:30
1But Job answered and said, 2Hear ye, hear ye my words, that I may not have this consolation from you. 3Raise me, and I will speak; then ye shall not laugh me to scorn. 4What! is my reproof of man? and why should I not be angry? 5Look upon me, and wonder, laying your hand upon your cheek. 6For even when I remember, I am alarmed, and pains seize my flesh. 7Wherefore do the ungodly live, and grow old even in wealth? 8Their seed is according to [their] desire, and their children are in [their] sight. 9Their houses are prosperous, neither [have they] any where [cause for] fear, neither is there a scourge from the Lord upon them. 10Their cow does not cast her calf, and their [beast] with young is safe, and does not miscarry. 11And they remain as an unfailing flock, and their children play before [them], taking up the psaltery and harp; 12and they rejoice at the voice of a song. 13And they spend their days in wealth, and fall asleep in the rest of the grave. 14Yet [such a man] says to the Lord, Depart from me; I desire not to know thy ways. 15What is the Mighty One, that we should serve him? and what profit is there that we should approach him? 16For their good things were in [their] hands, but he regards not the works of the ungodly. 17Nevertheless, the lamp of the ungodly also shall be put out, and destruction shall come upon them, and pangs of vengeance shall seize them. 18And they shall be as chaff before the wind, or as dust which the storm has taken up. 19Let his substance fail [to supply] his children: [God] shall recompense him, and he shall know it. 20Let his eyes see his own destruction, and let him not be saved by the Lord. 21For his desire is in his house with him, and the number of his months has been suddenly cut off. 22Is it not the Lord who teaches understanding and knowledge? and does not he judge murders? 23One shall die in his perfect strength, and wholly at ease and prosperous; 24and his inwards are full of fat, and his marrow is diffused [throughout him]. 25And another dies in bitterness of soul, not eating any good thing. 26But they lie down in the earth together, and corruption covers them. 27So I know you, that ye presumptuously attack me: 28so that ye will say, Where is the house of the prince? and where is the covering of the tabernacles of the ungodly? 29Ask those that go by the way, and do not disown their tokens. 30For the wicked hastens to the day of destruction: they shall be led away for the day of his vengeance. 31Who will tell him his way to his face, whereas he has done [it]? who shall recompense him? 32And he has been led away to the tombs, and he has watched over the heaps. 33The stones of the valley have been sweet to him, and every man shall depart after him, and [there are] innumerable [ones] before him. 34How then do ye comfort me in vain? whereas I have no rest from your molestation. Chapter 221Then Eliphaz the Thæmanite answered and said, 2Is it not the Lord that teaches understanding and knowledge? 3For what matters it to the Lord, if thou wert blameless in [thy] works? or is it profitable that thou shouldest perfect thy way? 4Wilt thou maintain and plead thine own cause? and will he enter into judgment with thee? 5Is not thy wickedness abundant, and thy sins innumerable? 6And thou hast taken security of thy brethren for nothing, and hast taken away the clothing of the naked. 7Neither hast thou given water to the thirsty to drink, but hast taken away the morsel of the hungry. 8And thou hast accepted the persons of some; and thou hast established those [that were already settled] on the earth. 9But thou hast sent widows away empty, and hast afflicted orphans. 10Therefore snares have compassed thee, and disastrous war has troubled thee. 11The light has proved darkness to thee, and water has covered thee on thy lying down. 12Does not he that dwells in the high places observe? and has he not brought down the proud? 13And thou hast said, What does the Mighty One know? does he judge in the dark? 14A cloud is his hiding-place, and he shall not be seen; and he passes through the circle of heaven. 15Wilt thou [not] mark the old way, which righteous men have trodden? 16who were seized before their time: their foundations [are as] an overflowing stream. 17Who say, What will the Lord do to us? or what will the Almighty bring upon us? 18Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from him. 19The righteous have seen [it], and laughed, and the blameless one has derided [them]. 20Verily their substance has been utterly destroyed, and the fire shall devour what is left of their [property]. 21Be firm, I pray thee, if thou canst endure; then thy fruit shall prosper. 22And receive a declaration from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23And if thou shalt turn and humble thyself before the Lord, thou hast [thus] removed unrighteousness far from thy habitation. 24Thou shalt lay up for thyself [treasure] in a heap on the rock; and Sophir [shall be] as the rock of the torrent. 25So the Almighty shall be thy helper from enemies, and he shall bring thee forth pure as silver that has been tried by fire. 26Then shalt thou have boldness before the Lord, looking up cheerfully to heaven. 27And he shall hear thee when thou prayest to him, and he shall grant thee [power] to pay thy vows. 28And he shall establish to thee again a habitation of righteousness and there shall be light upon thy paths. 29Because thou hast humbled thyself; and thou shalt say, [Man] has behaved proudly, but he shall save him that is of lowly eyes. 30He shall deliver the innocent, and do thou save thyself by thy pure hands.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 95:1–6(MT: 96)
MT Psalm 96 = LXX Psalm 95 (standard offset).
1For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice. 2Cloud and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne. 3Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about. 4His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled. 5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:6–8
6Sup not with an envious man, neither desire thou his meats: 7so he eats and drinks as if any one should swallow a hair, and do not bring him in to thyself, nor eat thy morsel with him: 8for he will vomit it up, and spoil thy fair words.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 14:1–23
1Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. 5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. 9For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 14I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
