Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 19:1–20:29
1Then Job answered and said, 2How long will ye vex my soul, and destroy me with words? only know that the Lord has dealt with me thus. 3Ye speak against me; ye do not feel for me, but bear hard upon me. 4Yea verily, I have erred in truth, (but the error abides with myself) in having spoken words which it was not right [to speak]; and my words err, and are unseasonable. 5But alas! for ye magnify yourselves against me, and insult me with reproach. 6Know then that it is the Lord that has troubled [me], and has raised his bulwark against me. 7Behold, I laugh at reproach; I will not speak: [or] I will cry out, but [there is] nowhere judgment. 8I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: he has set darkness before my face. 9And he has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head. 10He has torn me round about, and I am gone: and he has cut off my hope like a tree. 11And he has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy. 12His troops also came upon me with one accord, liers in wait compassed my ways. 13My brethren have stood aloof from me; they have recognised strangers [rather] than me: and my friends have become pitiless. 14My nearest of kin have not acknowledged me, and they that knew my name, have forgotten me. 15[As for] my household, and my maid-servants, I was a stranger before them. 16I called my servant, and he hearkened not; and my mouth intreated [him]. 17And I besought my wife, and earnestly intreated the sons of my concubines. 18But they rejected me for ever; whenever I rise up, they speak against me. 19They that saw me abhorred me: the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me. 20My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in [my] teeth. 21Pity me, pity me, O friends; for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me. 22Wherefore do ye persecute me as also the Lord [does], and are not satisfied with my flesh? 23For oh that my words were written, and that they were recorded in a book for ever, 24with an iron pen and lead, or graven in the rocks! 25For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me, 26[and] to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these [sufferings]: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord; 27which I am conscious of in myself, which mine eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in [my] bosom. 28But if ye shall also say, What shall we say before him, and [so] find the root of the matter in him? 29Do ye also beware of deceit: for wrath will come upon transgressors; and then shall they know where their substance is. Chapter 201Then Sophar the Minæan answered and said, 2I did not suppose that thou wouldest answer thus: neither do ye understand more than I. 3I will hear my shameful reproach; and the spirit of my understanding answers me. 4Hast thou [not] known these things of old, from the time that man was set upon the earth? 5But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall, and the joy of transgressors is destruction: 6although his gifts should go up to heaven, and his sacrifice reach the clouds. 7For when he shall seem to be now established, then he shall utterly perish: and they that knew him shall say, Where is he? 8Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found; and he has fled like a vision of the night. 9The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again; and his place shall no longer perceive him. 10Let [his] inferiors destroy his children, and let his hands kindle the fire of sorrow. 11His bones have been filled with [vigour of] his youth, and it shall lie down with him in the dust. 12Though evil be sweet in his mouth, [though] he will hide it under his tongue; 13though he will not spare it, and will not leave it, but will keep it in the midst of his throat: 14yet he shall not at all be able to help himself; the gall of an asp is in his belly. 15[His] wealth unjustly collected shall be vomited up; a messenger [of wrath] shall drag him out of his house. 16And let him suck the poison of serpents, and let the serpent's tongue slay him. 17Let him not see the milk of the pastures, nor the supplies of honey and butter. 18He has laboured unprofitably and in vain, [for] wealth of which he shall not taste: [it is] as a lean thing, unfit for food, which he cannot swallow. 19For he has broken down the houses of many mighty men: and he has plundered an habitation, though he built [it] not. 20There is no security to his possessions; he shall not be saved by his desire. 21There is nothing remaining of his provisions; therefore his goods shall not flourish. 22But when he shall seem to be just satisfied, he shall be straitened; and all distress shall come upon him. 23If by any means he would fill his belly, let [God] send upon him the fury of wrath; let him bring a torrent of pains upon him. 24And he shall by no means escape from the power of the sword; let the brazen bow wound him. 25And let the arrow pierce through his body; and let the stars be against his dwelling-place: let terrors come upon him. 26And let all darkness wait for him: a fire that burns not out shall consume him; and let a stranger plague his house. 27And let the heaven reveal his iniquities, and the earth rise up against him. 28Let destruction bring his house to an end; let a day of wrath come upon him. 29This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of his goods [appointed him] by the all-seeing [God].
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 94:6–11(MT: 95)
MT Psalm 95 = LXX Psalm 94 (standard offset).
6Come, let us worship and fall down before him; and weep before the Lord that made us. 7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. 8To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, according to the day of irritation in the wilderness: 9where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works. 10Forty years was I grieved with this generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known my ways. 11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 23:4–5
4If thou art poor, measure not thyself with a rich man; but refrain thyself in thy wisdom. 5If thou shouldest fix thine eye upon him, he will disappear; for wings like an eagle's are prepared for him, and he returns to the house of his master.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 13:1–14
1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
