Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Jeremiah 25:1–26:24
1The Word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda in the fourth year of Joakim, son of Josias, king of Juda; 2which he spoke to all the people of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 3In the thirteenth year of Josias, son of Amos, king of Juda, even until this day for three and twenty years, I have both spoken to you, rising early and speaking, 4and I sent to you my servants the prophets, sending them early; (but ye hearkened not, and listened not with your ears;) saying, 5Turn ye every one from his evil way, and from your evil practices, and ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers, of old and for ever. 6Go ye not after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them, that ye provoke me not by the works of your hands, to do you hurt. 7But ye hearkened not to me. 8Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since ye believed not my words, 9behold, I [will] send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach. 10And I will destroy from [among] them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle. 11And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years. 12And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and will make them a perpetual desolation. 13And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, [even] all things that are written in this book. 14The Prophecies of Jeremias against the Nations of Ælam. 15Thus saith the Lord, The bow of Ælam is broken, [even] the chief of their power. 16And I will bring upon Ælam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation [to] which they shall not come—[even] the outcasts of Ælam. 17And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bring evils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterly destroyed them. 18And I will set my throne in Ælam, and will send forth thence king and rulers. 19But it shall come to pass at the end of days, that I will turn the captivity of Ælam, saith the Lord. 20In the beginning of the reign of king Sedekias, there came this word concerning Ælam. Chapter 262For Egypt, against the Power of Pharao Nechao King of Egypt, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda. 3Take up arms and spears, and draw nigh to battle; 4and harness the horses: mount, ye horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breast-plates. 5Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, saith the Lord. 6Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the [forces] at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen. 7Who is this [that] shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll [their] waves? 8The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it. 9Mount ye the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, ye warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, ye Lydians, bend the bow. 10And that day [shall be] to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord [has] a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates. 11Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain hast thou multiplied thy medicines; there is no help in thee. 12The nations have heard thy voice, and the land has been filled with thy cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, [and] both are fallen together. 13The Words which the Lord spoke by Jeremias, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt. 14Proclaim [it] at Magdol, and declare [it] at Memphis: say ye, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured thy yew-tree. 15Wherefore has Apis fled from thee? thy choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him. 16And thy multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbour, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword. 17Call ye the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed. 18[As] I live, saith the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea. 19O daughter of Egypt dwelling [at home], prepare thee stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it. 20Egypt is a fair heifer, [but] destruction from the north is come upon her. 21Also her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution. 22Their voice is as [that] of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood. 23They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, for [their number] cannot at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable. 24The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.

Psalm 118:25–32(MT: 119)
MT Psalm 119 = LXX Psalm 118 (standard offset).
25My soul has cleaved to the ground; quicken thou me according to thy word. 26I declared my ways, and thou didst hear me; teach me thine ordinances. 27Instruct me in the way of thine ordinances; and I will meditate on thy wondrous works. 28My soul has slumbered for sorrow; strengthen thou me with thy words. 29Remove from me the way of iniquity; and be merciful to me by thy law. 30I have chosen the way of truth; and have not forgotten thy judgments. 31I have cleaved to thy testimonies, O Lord; put me not to shame. 32I ran the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.

Proverbs 27:17
17Iron sharpens iron; and a man sharpens his friend's countenance.
New TestamentKing James Version
2 Thessalonians 2:1–17
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
