Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 29:1–30:31
1And Job continued and said in his parable, 2Oh that I were as in months past, wherein God preserved me! 3As when his lamp shone over my head; when by his light I walked through darkness. 4[As] when I steadfastly pursued my ways, when God took care of my house. 5When I was very fruitful, and my children were about me; 6when my ways were moistened with butter, and the mountains flowed for me with milk. 7When I went forth early in the city, and the seat was placed for me in the streets. 8The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and all the old men stood up. 9And the great men ceased speaking, and laid their finger on their mouth. 10And they that heard [me] blessed me, and their tongue clave to their throat. 11For the ear heard, and blessed me; and the eye saw me, and turned aside. 12For I saved the poor out of the hand of the oppressor, and helped the fatherless who had no helper. 13Let the blessing of the perishing one come upon me; yea, the mouth of the widow has blessed me. 14Also I put on righteousness, and clothed myself with judgment like a mantle. 15I was the eye of the blind, and the foot of the lame. 16I was the father of the helpless; and I searched out the cause which I knew not. 17And I broke the jaw-teeth of the unrighteous; I plucked the spoil out of the midst of their teeth. 18And I said, My age shall continue as the stem of a palm-tree; I shall live a long while. 19[My] root was spread out by the water, and the dew would lodge on my crop. 20My glory was fresh in me, and my bow prospered in his hand. 21[Men] heard me, and gave heed, and they were silent at my counsel. 22At my word they spoke not again, and they were very glad whenever I spoke to them. 23As the thirsty earth expecting the rain, so they [waited for] my speech. 24Were I to laugh on them, they would not believe [it]; and the light of my face has not failed. 25I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the midst of warriors, as one comforting mourners. Chapter 301But now the youngest have laughed me to scorn, now they reprove me in [their] turn, whose fathers I set at nought; whom I did not deem worthy [to be with] my shepherd dogs. 2Yea, why had I the strength of their hands? for them the full term [of life] was lost. 3[One is] childless in want and famine, [such as] they that fled but lately the distress and misery of drought. 4Who compass the salt places on the sounding [shore], who had salt [herbs] for their food, and were dishonourable and of no repute, in want of every good thing; who also ate roots of trees by reason of great hunger. 5Thieves have risen up against me, 6whose houses were the caves of the rocks, who lived under the wild shrubs. 7They will cry out among the rustling [bushes]. 8[They are] sons of fools and vile men, [whose] name and glory [are] quenched from off the earth. 9But now I am their music, and they have me for a by-word. 10And they stood aloof and abhorred me, and spared not to spit in my face. 11For he has opened his quiver and afflicted me: they also have cast off the restraint of my presence. 12They have risen up against [me] on the right hand of [their] offspring; they have stretched out their foot, and directed against me the ways of their destruction. 13My paths are ruined; for they have stripped off my raiment: he has shot at me with his weapons. 14And he has pleaded against me as he will: I am overwhelmed with pains. 15My pains return upon [me]; my hope is gone like the wind, and my safety as a cloud. 16Even now my life shall be poured forth upon me; and days of anguish seize me. 17And by night my bones are confounded; and my sinews are relaxed. 18With great force [my disease] has taken hold of my garment: it has compassed me as the collar of my coat. 19And thou hast counted me as clay; my portion is in dust and ashes. 20And I have cried to thee, but thou hearest me not: but they stood still, and observed me. 21They attacked me also without mercy: thou hast scourged me with a strong hand. 22And thou hast put me to grief, and hast cast me away from safety. 23For I know that death will destroy me: for the earth is the house [appointed] for every mortal. 24Oh then that I might lay hands upon myself, or at least ask another, and he should do this for me. 25Yet I wept over every helpless man; I groaned when I saw a man in distress. 26But I, when I waited for good things, behold, days of evils came the more upon me. 27My belly boiled, and would not cease: the days of poverty prevented me. 28I went mourning without restraint: and I have stood and cried out in the assembly. 29I am become a brother of monsters, and a companion of ostriches. 30And my skin has been greatly blackened, and my bones are burned with heat. 31My harp also has been turned into mourning, and my song into my weeping.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 96:7–12(MT: 97)
MT Psalm 97 = LXX Psalm 96 (standard offset).
7Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all ye his angels. 8Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of thy judgments, O Lord. 9For thou art Lord most high over all the earth; thou art greatly exalted above all gods. 10Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners. 11Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.

15Son, if thy heart be wise, thou shalt also gladden my heart; 16and thy lips shall converse with my lips, if they be right.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 1:1–31
1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: 3Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 4I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 14I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
