Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 39:1–40:24
1[Say] if thou knowest the time of the bringing forth of the wild goats of the rock, and [if] thou hast marked the calving of the hinds: 2and [if] thou hast numbered the full months of their being with young, and [if] thou hast relieved their pangs: 3and hast reared their young without fear; and wilt thou loosen their pangs? 4Their young will break forth; they will be multiplied with offspring: [their young] will go forth, and will not return to them. 5And who is he that sent forth the wild ass free? and who loosed his bands? 6whereas I made his habitation the wilderness, and the salt land his coverts. 7He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer. 8He will survey the mountains [as] his pasture, and he seeks after every green thing. 9And will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or to lie down at thy manger? 10And wilt thou bind his yoke with thongs, or will he plough furrows for thee in the plain? 11And dost thou trust him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou commit thy works to him? 12And wilt thou believe that he will return to thee thy seed, and bring [it] in [to] thy threshing-floor? 13The peacock has a beautiful wing: if the stork and the ostrich conceive, [it is worthy of notice], 14for [the ostrich] will leave her eggs in the ground, and warm them on the dust, 15and has forgotten that the foot will scatter them, and the wild beasts of the field trample them. 16She has hardened [herself] against her young ones, as though [she bereaved] not herself: she labours in vain without fear. 17For God has withholden wisdom from her, and not given her a portion in understanding. 18In her season she will lift herself on high; she will scorn the horse and his rider. 19Hast thou invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror? 20And hast thou clad him in perfect armour, and made his breast glorious with courage? 21He paws exulting in the plain, and goes forth in strength into the plain. 22He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, and will by no means turn back from the sword. 23The bow and sword resound against him; and [his] rage will swallow up the ground: 24and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds. 25And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing. 26And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south? 27And does the eagle rise at thy command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest, 28on a crag of a rock, and in a secret [place]? 29Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far. 30And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcases may be, immediately they are found. Chapter 401And the Lord God answered Job, and said, 2Will [any one] pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer. 3And Job answered and said to the Lord, 4Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. 5I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time. 6And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying], 7Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me. 8Do not set aside my judgment: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous? 9Hast thou an arm like the Lord's? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his? 10Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe thyself with glory and honour. 11And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one. 12Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly. 13And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame. 14[Then] will I confess that thy right hand can save [thee]. 15But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen. 16Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 17He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together. 18His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is [as] cast iron. 19This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels. 20And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep. 21He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush. 22And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and [so do] the bushes of the field. 23If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trusts that Jordan will rush up into his mouth. 24[Yet one] shall take him in his sight; [one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 100:1–4(MT: 101)
MT Psalm 101 = LXX Psalm 100 (standard offset).
1A Prayer for the Poor; when he is deeply afflicted, and pours out his supplication before the Lord. 2Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to thee. 3Turn not away thy face from me: in the day [when] I am afflicted, incline thine ear to me: in the day [when] I shall call upon thee, speedily hear me. 4For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have been parched like a stick.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:29–30
29Who [has] woe? who trouble? who [has] quarrels? and who vexations and disputes? who [has] bruises without a cause? whose eyes are livid? 30Are not those of them that stay long at wine? [are] not [those] of them that haunt [the places] where banquets are? Be not drunk with wine; but converse with just men, and converse [with them] openly.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 6:1–20
1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
