Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Exodus 31:1–32:35
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda. 3And I have filled him [with] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work, 4and to frame works, to labour in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, 5and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works. 6And I have appointed him and Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed thee,— 7the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle, 8and the altars, and the table and all its furniture, 9and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base, 10and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests, 11and the anointing oil and the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee shall they make them. 12And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13Do thou also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and among you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you. 14And ye shall keep the sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his people. 15Six days thou shalt do works, but the seventh day is the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord; every one who shall do a work on the seventh day shall be put to death. 16And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations. 17It is a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested. 18And he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] with the finger of God. Chapter 321And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people combined against Aaron, and said to him, Arise and make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what is become of him. 2And Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives and daughters, and bring them to me. 3And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. 4And he received them at their hands, and formed them with a graving tool; and he made them a molten calf, and said, These [are] thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5And Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord. 6And having risen early on the morrow, he offered whole burnt-offerings, and offered a peace-offering; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 7And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for thy people whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; 8they have quickly gone out of the way which thou commandedst; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 10And now let me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them, and I will make thee a great nation. 11And Moses prayed before the Lord God, and said, Wherefore, O Lord, art thou very angry with thy people, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt with great strength, and with thy high arm? 12[Take heed] lest at any time the Egyptians speak, saying, With evil intent he brought them out to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from off the earth; cease from thy wrathful anger, and be merciful to the sin of thy people, 13remembering Abraam and Isaac and Jacob thy servants, to whom thou hast sworn by thyself, and hast spoken to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this land which thou spokest of to give to them, so that they shall possess it for ever. 14And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people. 15And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tables of testimony were in his hands, tables of stone written on both their sides: they were written within and without. 16And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables. 17And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18And [Moses] says, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor the voice of them that begin [the cry] of defeat, but the voice of them that begin [the banquet] of wine do I hear. 19And when he drew nigh to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke them to pieces under the mountain. 20And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it. 21And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to thee, that thou hast brought upon them a great sin? 22And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for thou knowest the impetuosity of this people. 23For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him. 24And I said to them, If any one has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this calf. 25And when Moses saw that the people was scattered,—for Aaron [had] scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies,— 26then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him. 27And he says to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every one his brother, and every one his neighbour, and every one him that is nearest to him. 28And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the [number of] three thousand men. 29And Moses said to them, Ye have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you. 30And it came to pass after the morrow [had begun], that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I may make atonement for your sin. 31And Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods. 32And now if thou wilt forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of thy book, which thou hast written. 33And the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot them out of my book. 34And now go, descend, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke to thee: behold, my angel shall go before thy face; and in the day when I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin. 35And the Lord smote the people for the making of the calf, which Aaron made.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 20:1–7(MT: 21)
MT Psalm 21 = LXX Psalm 20 (standard offset).
1For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. 2O God, my God, attend to me: why hast thou forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation. 3O my God, I will cry to thee by day, but thou wilt not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me. 4But thou, the praise of Israel, dwellest in a sanctuary. 5Our fathers hoped in thee; they hoped, and thou didst deliver them. 6They cried to thee, and were saved: they hoped in thee, and were not ashamed. 7But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 7:24–27
24Now then, [my] son, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25Let not thine heart turn aside to her ways: 26for she has wounded and cast down many, and those whom she has slain are innumerable. 27Her house is the way of hell, leading down to the chambers of death.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 25:31–46
31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
