Exodus 5:1–6:30
1And after this went in Moses and Aaron to Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of Israel, Send my people away, that they may keep a feast to me in the wilderness. 2And Pharao said, Who is he that I should hearken to his voice, so that I should send away the children of Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go. 3And they say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us to him: we will go therefore a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest at any time death or slaughter happen to us. 4And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, turn the people from their works? depart each of you to your works. 5And Pharao said, Behold now, the people is very numerous; let us not then give them rest from their work. 6And Pharao gave orders to the task-masters of the people and the accountants, saying, 7Ye shall no longer give straw to the people for brick-making as yesterday and the third day; but let them go themselves, and collect straw for themselves. 8And thou shalt impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they perform: thou shalt not abate anything, for they are idle; therefore have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God. 9Let the works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these things, and not care for vain words. 10And the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharao, I [will] give you straw no longer. 11Go ye, yourselves, get for yourselves straw whencesoever ye can find it, for nothing is diminished from your rate. 12So the people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw. 13And the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your regular daily tasks, even as when straw was given you. 14And the accountants of the race of the children of Israel, who were set over them by the masters of Pharao, were scourged, [[and questioned],] [men] saying, Why have ye not fulfilled your rates of brick-work as yesterday and the third day, to-day also? 15And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao, saying, Why dost thou act thus to thy servants? 16Straw is not given to thy servants, and they tell us to make brick; and behold thy servants have been scourged: thou wilt therefore injure thy people. 17And he said to them, Ye are idle, ye are idlers: therefore ye say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to our God. 18Now then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet ye shall return the rate of bricks. 19And the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil plight, [men] saying, Ye shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the brick-making. 20And they met Moses and Aaron coming forth to meet them, as they came forth from Pharao. 21And they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for ye have made our savour abominable before Pharao, and before his servants, to put a sword into his hands to slay us. 22And Moses turned to the Lord, and said, I pray, Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? and wherefore hast thou sent me? 23For from the time that I went to Pharao to speak in thy name, he has afflicted this people, and thou hast not delivered thy people. Chapter 61And the Lord said to Moses, Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land. 2And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I [am] the Lord. 3And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord. 4And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they dwelt as strangers. 5And I hearkened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you. 6Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgment. 7And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians. 8And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I [am] the Lord. 9And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they hearkened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks. 10And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel out of his land. 12And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel hearkened not to me, and how shall Pharao hearken to me? and I am not eloquent. 13And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. 14And these are the heads of the houses of their families: the sons of Ruben the first-born of Israel; Enoch and Phallus, Asron, and Charmi, this is the kindred of Ruben. 15And the sons of Symeon, Jemuel and Jamin, and Aod, and Jachin and Saar, and Saul the son of a Phœnician woman, these are the families of the sons of Symeon. 16And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their kindreds, Gedson, Caath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi were a hundred and thirty-seven. 17And these are the sons of Gedson, Lobeni and Semei, the houses of their family. And the sons of Caath, 18Ambram and Issaar, Chebron, and Oziel; and the years of the life of Caath were a hundred and thirty-three years. 19And the sons of Merari, Moöli, and Omusi, these are the houses of the families of Levi, according to their kindreds. 20And Ambram took to wife Jochabed the daughter of his father's brother, and she bore to him both Aaron and Moses, and Mariam their sister: and the years of the life of Ambram were a hundred and thirty-two years. 21And the sons of Issaar, Core, and Naphec, and Zechri. 22And the sons of Oziel, Misael, and Elisaphan, and Segri. 23And Aaron took to himself to wife Elisabeth daughter of Aminadab sister of Naasson, and she bore to him both Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar and Ithamar. 24And the sons of Core, Asir, and Elkana, and Abiasar, these are the generations of Core. 25And Eleazar the son of Aaron took to himself for a wife [one] of the daughters of Phutiel, and she bore to him Phinees. These are the heads of the family of the Levites, according to their generations. 26This is Aaron and Moses, whom God told to bring out the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt with their forces. 27These are they that spoke with Pharao king of Egypt, and Aaron himself and Moses brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, 28in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt; 29then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Pharao king of Egypt whatsoever I say to thee. 30And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am not able in speech, and how shall Pharao hearken to me?

MT Psalm 16 = LXX Psalm 15 (standard offset).
7I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night. 8I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. 9Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 10because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 11Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand [there are] delights for ever.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 5:7–14
7Now then, [my] son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect. 8Remove thy way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house: 9lest thou give away thy life to others, and thy substance to the merciless: 10lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours come into the houses of strangers; 11and thou repent at last, when the flesh of thy body is consumed, 12and thou shalt say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs! 13I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I apply mine ear. 14I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 18:21–35
21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
