Old TestamentSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Jeremiah 13:1–14:22
1Thus says the Lord, Go and procure for yourself a linen girdle, and put it about your loins, and let it not be put in water. 2So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins. 3And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 4Take the girdle that is upon your loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. 5So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me. 6And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded you to hide there. 7So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I [had] buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing. 8And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus says the Lord, 9Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem; 10[even] this great pride [of the men] that will not listen to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing. 11For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not listen to me. 12And you shall say to this people, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and it shall come to pass, if they shall say to you, Shall we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? that you shall say to them, 13Thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] fill the inhabitants of this land, and their kings the sons of David that sit upon their throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and Juda and all the dwellers in Jerusalem, with strong drink. 14And I will scatter them a man and his brother, and their fathers and their sons together: I will not have compassion, says the Lord, and I will not spare, neither will I pity [to save them] from destruction. 15Hear you⌃, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken. 16Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and you⌃ shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness. 17But if you⌃ will not listen, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised. 18Say you⌃ to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head. 19The cities toward the south were shut, and there was none to open [them]: Juda is removed [into captivity, ]they have suffered a complete removal. 20Lift up your eyes, O Jerusalem, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given you, the sheep of your glory? 21What will you say when they shall visit you, for you did teach them lessons for rule against yourself; shall not pangs seize you as a woman in travail? 22And if you should say in your heart, Therefore have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of your iniquity have your skirts been revealed, that your heels might be exposed. 23If the Ethiopian shall change his skin, or the leopardess her spots, then shall you⌃ be able to do good, having learned evil. 24So I scattered them as sticks carried by the wind into the wilderness. 25Thus is your lot, and the reward of your disobedience to me, says the Lord; as you did forget me, and trust in lies, 26I also will expose your skirts upon your face, and your shame shall be seen; 27your adultery also, and your neighing, and the looseness of your fornication: on the hills and in the fields I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem, for you have not been purified so as to follow me; how long yet [shall it be]? Chapter 141AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS CONCERNING THE DROUGHT. 2Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 3And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty. 4And the labors of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. 5And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass. 6The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass. 7Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do you for us for your own sake; for our sins are many before you; for we have sinned against you. 8O Lord, [you are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in time of troubles; why are you become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place? 9Will you be as a man asleep, or as a [strong] man that can’t save? yet you are among us, O Lord, and your name is called upon us; forget us not. 10Thus says the Lord to this people, They have loved to wander, and they have not spared, therefore God has not prospered them; now will he remember their iniquity. 11And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good: 12for though they fast, I will not hear their supplication; and though they offer whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, I will take no pleasure in them: for I will consume them with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence. 13And I said, O [ever] living Lord! behold, their prophets prophesy, and say, You⌃ shall not see a sword, nor shall famine be among you; for I will give truth and peace on the land, and in this place. 14Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spoke not to them: for they prophesy to you false visions, and divinations, and auguries, and devices of their own heart. 15Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy lies in my name, and I sent them not, who say, Sword and famine shall not be upon this land; they shall die by a grievous death, and the prophets shall be consumed by famine. 16And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them: their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters [shall die thus]; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them. 17And you shall speak this word to them; Let your eyes shed tears day and night, and let them not cease: for the daughter of my people has been sorely bruised, and her plague is very grievous. 18If I go forth into the plain, then behold the slain by the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold the distress of famine! for priest and prophet have gone to a land which they knew not. 19Have you utterly rejected Juda? and has your soul departed from Sion? therefore has you struck us, and there is no healing for us? we waited for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, and behold trouble! 20We know, O Lord, our sins, [and] the iniquities of our fathers: for we have sinned before you. 21Refrain for your name's sake, destroy not the throne of your glory: remember, break not your covenant with us. 22Is there any one among the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness [at their bidding]? Are not you he? we will even wait on you, O Lord: for you have made all these things.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 117:15–20(MT: 118)
MT Psalm 118 = LXX Psalm 117 (standard offset).
15The voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord has wrought mightily. 16The right hand of the Lord has exalted me: the right hand of the Lord has wrought powerfully. 17I shall not die, but live, and recount the works of the Lord. 18The Lord has chastened me sore: but he has not given me up to death. 19Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord. 20This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous shall enter by it.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 27:9
9The heart delights in ointments and wines and perfumes: but the soul is broken by calamities.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Thessalonians 1:1–10
1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 6And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 7So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 8For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. 9For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
