Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 33:1–34:37
1Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and hearken to my speech. 2For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken. 3My heart [shall be found] pure by [my] words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity. 4The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me. 5If thou canst, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I [will stand] against thee. 6Thou art formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same [substance]. 7My fear shall not terrify thee, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. 8But thou hast said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of thy words;) because thou sayest, I am pure, not having sinned; 9I am blameless, for I have not transgressed. 10Yet he has discovered a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary. 11And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways. 12For how sayest thou, I am righteous, yet he has not hearkened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal. 13But thou sayest, Why has he not heard every word of my cause? 14For when the Lord speaks once, or a second time, 15[sending] a dream, or in the meditation of the night; (as when a dreadful alarm happens to fall upon men, in slumberings on the bed:) 16then opens he the understanding of men: he scares them with such fearful visions: 17to turn a man from unrighteousness, and he delivers his body from a fall. 18He spares also his soul from death, and [suffers] him not to fall in war. 19And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones is benumbed. 20And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat; 21until his flesh shall be consumed, and he shall shew his bones bare. 22His soul also draws nigh to death, and his life is in Hades. 23Though there should be a thousand messengers of death, not one of them shall wound him: if he should purpose in his heart to turn to the Lord, and declare to man his fault, and shew his folly; 24he will support him, that he should not perish, and will restore his body as [fresh] plaster upon a wall; and he will fill his bones with marrow. 25And he will make his flesh tender as that of a babe, and he will restore him among men in [his] full strength. 26And he shall pray to the Lord, and his prayer shall be accepted of him; he shall enter with a cheerful countenance, with a full expression [of praise]: for he will render to men [their] due. 27Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, What kind of things have I done? and he has not punished me according to the full amount of my sins. 28Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, and my life shall see the light. 29Behold, all these things the Mighty One works in a threefold manner with a man. 30And he has delivered my soul from death, that my life may praise him in the light. 31Hearken, Job, and hear me: be silent, and I will speak. 32If thou hast words, answer me: speak, for I desire thee to be justified. 33If not, do thou hear me: be silent, and I will teach thee. Chapter 341And Elius continued, and said, 2Hear me, ye wise men; hearken, ye that have knowledge. 3For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat. 4Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know among ourselves what is right. 5For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment. 6And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness [of mine]. 7What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water? 8[saying], I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly. 9For thou shouldest not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas [there is] a visitation on him from the Lord. 10Wherefore hear me, ye that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the Almighty. 11Yea, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him. 12And thinkest thou that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment? 13And who is he that made [the whole world] under heaven, and all things therein? 14For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself; 15all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed. 16Take heed lest he rebuke [thee]: hear this, hearken to the voice of words. 17Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just. 18[He is] ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, [that says] to princes, O most ungodly one. 19[Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honourable man, neither knows how to give honour to the great, so as that their persons should be respected. 20But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside [from their right]. 21For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him. 22Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves. 23For he will not lay upon a man more [than right]. 24For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number. 25Who discovers their works, and will bring night about [upon them], and they shall be brought low. 26And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him. 27Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances, 28so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor. 29And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man also: 30causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people. 31For [there is] one that says to the Mighty One, I have received [blessings]; I will not take a pledge: 32I will see apart from myself: do thou shew me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do [so] any more. 33Will he take vengeance for it on thee, whereas thou wilt put [it] far [from thee]? for thou shalt choose, and not I; and what thou knowest, speak thou. 34Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word. 35But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge. 36Howbeit do thou learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish: 37that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if [we] speak many words before the Lord.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 97:4–9(MT: 98)
MT Psalm 98 = LXX Psalm 97 (standard offset).
4Shout to God, all the earth; sing, and exult, and sing psalms. 5Sing to the Lord with a harp, with a harp, and the voice of a psalm. 6With trumpets of metal, and the sound of a trumpet of horn make a joyful noise to the Lord before the king. 7Let the sea be moved, and the fulness of it; the world, and they that dwell in it. 8The rivers shall clap their hands together; the mountains shall exult. 9For he is come to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the nations in uprightness.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:19–21
19Hear, [my] son, and be wise, and rightly direct the thoughts of thine heart. 20Be not a wine-bibber, neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh: 21for every drunkard and whoremonger shall be poor; and every sluggard shall clothe himself with tatters and ragged garments.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 3:1–23
1And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 4For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. 10According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 23And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
