Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 5:1–6:30
1But call, if any one will hearken to thee, or if thou shalt see any of the holy angels. 2For wrath destroys the foolish one, and envy slays him that has gone astray. 3And I have seen foolish ones taking root: but suddenly their habitation was devoured. 4Let their children be far from safety, and let them be crushed at the doors of vile men, and let there be no deliverer. 5For what they have collected, the just shall eat; but they shall not be delivered out of calamities: let their strength be utterly exhausted. 6For labour cannot by any means come out of the earth, nor shall trouble spring out of the mountains: 7yet man is born to labour, and [even so] the vulture's young seek the high places. 8Nevertheless I will beseech the Lord, and will call upon the Lord, the sovereign of all; 9who does great things and untraceable, glorious things also, and marvellous, of which there is no number: 10who gives rain upon the earth, sending water on the earth: 11who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost: 12frustrating the counsels of the crafty, and their hands shall not perform the truth: 13who takes the wise in their wisdom, and subverts the counsel of the crafty. 14In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noon-day even as in the night: 15and let them perish in war, and let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty. 16And let the weak have hope, but the mouth of the unjust be stopped. 17But blessed [is] the man whom the Lord has reproved; and reject not thou the chastening of the Almighty. 18For he causes [a man] to be in pain, and restores [him] again: he smites, and his hands heal. 19Six times he shall deliver thee out of distresses: and in the seventh harm shall not touch thee. 20In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in war he shall free thee from the power of the sword. 21He shall hide thee from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not be afraid of coming evils. 22Thou shalt laugh at the unrighteous and the lawless: and thou shalt not be afraid of wild beasts. 23For the wild beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 24Then shalt thou know that thy house shall be at peace, and the provision for thy tabernacle shall not fail. 25And thou shalt know that thy seed [shall be] abundant; and thy children shall be like the herbage of the field. 26And thou shalt come to the grave like ripe corn reaped in its season, or as a heap of the corn-flour collected in proper time. 27Behold, we have thus sought out these matters; these are what we have heard: but do thou reflect with thyself, if thou hast done anything [wrong]. Chapter 61But Job answered and said, 2Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together! 3And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain. 4For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me. 5What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has fodder? 6Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words? 7For my wrath cannot cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion [to be] loathsome. 8For oh that he would grant [my desire], and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope! 9Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me. 10Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God. 11For what is my strength, that I continue? what is my time, that my soul endures? 12Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass? 13Or have I not trusted in him? but help is [far] from me. 14Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me. 15My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing brook, or like a wave. 16They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice. 17When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was. 18Thus I also have been deserted of all; and I am ruined, and become an outcast. 19Behold the ways of the Thæmanites, ye that mark the paths of the Sabæans. 20They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame. 21But ye also have come to me without pity; so that beholding my wound ye are afraid. 22What? have I made any demand of you? or do I ask for strength from you, 23to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones? 24Teach ye me, and I will be silent: if in anything I have erred, tell me. 25But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, because I do not ask strength of you. 26Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech. 27Even because ye attack the fatherless, and insult your friend. 28But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie. 29Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just. 30For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 91:1–7(MT: 92)
MT Psalm 92 = LXX Psalm 91 (standard offset).
1A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. 2It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High; 3to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night, 4on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp. 5For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult. 6How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep. 7A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 22:16
16He that oppresses the poor, increases his own substance, yet gives to the rich so as to make it less.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 8:22–39
22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
