Deuteronomy 5:1–6:25
1And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the ordinances and judgments, all that I speak in your ears this day, and you⌃ shall learn them, and observe to do them. 2The Lord your God made a covenant with you in Choreb. 3The Lord did not make this covenant with your fathers, but with you: you⌃ are all here alive this day. 4The Lord spoke to you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire. 5And I stood between the Lord and you at that time to report to you the words of the Lord, (because you⌃ were afraid before the fire, and you⌃ went not up to the mountain) saying, 6I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 7You shall have no other gods before my face. 8You shall not make to yourself an image, nor likeness of any thing, whatever things [are] in the heaven above, and whatever [are] in the earth beneath, and whatever [are] in the waters under the earth. 9You shall not bow down to them, nor shall you serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me, 10and doing mercifully to thousands of them that love me, and that keep my commandments. 11You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord your God will certainly not acquit him that takes his name in vain. 12Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13Six days you shall work, and you shall do all your works; 14but on the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall do in it no work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, your ox, and your ass, and all your cattle, and the stranger that sojourns in the midst of you; that your man-servant may rest, and your maid, and your ox, as well as you. 15And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand, and a high arm: therefore the Lord appointed you to keep the sabbath day and to sanctify it. 16Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord your God gives you. 17You shall not commit murder. 18You shall not commit adultery. 19You shall not steal. 20You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 21You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house, nor his field, nor his man-servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any beast of his, nor any thing that is your neighbor's. 22These words the Lord spoke to all the assembly of you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire—[there was] darkness, blackness, storm, a loud voice—and he added no more, and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and he gave them to me. 23And it came to pass when you⌃ heard the voice out of the midst of the fire, for the mountain burned with fire, that you⌃ came to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders: 24and you⌃ said, Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: this day we have seen that God shall speak to man, and he shall live. 25And now let us not die, for this great fire will consume us, if we shall hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, and we shall die. 26For what flesh [is there] which has heard the voice of the living God, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have heard], and shall live? 27Do you draw near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say, and you shall speak to us all things whatever the Lord our God shall speak to you, and we will hear, and do. 28And the Lord heard the voice of your words as you⌃ spoke to me; and the Lord said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, even all things that they have said to you. [They have] well [said] all that they have spoken. 29O that there were such a heart in them, that they should fear me and keep my commands always, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever. 30Go, say to them, Return you⌃ to your houses; 31but stand you here with me, and I will tell you all the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which you shall teach them, and let them do so in the land which I give them for an inheritance. 32And you⌃ shall take heed to do as the Lord your God commanded you; you⌃ shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, 33according to all the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in it, that he may give you rest; and that it may be well with you, and you⌃ may prolong your days on the land which you⌃ shall inherit. Chapter 61And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you⌃ enter to inherit it. 2That you⌃ may fear the Lord your God, keep you⌃ all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you⌃ may live many days. 3Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with you, and that you⌃ may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt. 4Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord. 5And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and all your strength. 6And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul. 7And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up. 8And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes. 9And you⌃ shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates. 10And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build, 11houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled, 12beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 13You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear. 14Go you⌃ not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you; 15for the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth. 16You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you⌃ tempted him in the temptation. 17You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you. 18And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord swore to your fathers, 19to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said. 20And it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us? 21Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm. 22And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us. 23And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he swore to give to our fathers. 24And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today. 25And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.

Psalm 36:1–4(MT: 37)
MT Psalm 37 = LXX Psalm 36 (standard offset).
1(37) [A Psalm] of David. Fret not yourself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity. 2For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs. 3Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and you shall be fed with the wealth of it. 4Delight [yourself] in the Lord; and he shall grant you the requests of your heart.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 12:8
8The mouth of an understanding [man] is praised by a man; but he that is dull of heart is had in derision.
New TestamentKing James Version
Luke 1:21–38
21And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. 22And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. 23And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. 24And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. 26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37For with God nothing shall be impossible. 38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
