Leviticus 25:1–55
1And the Lord spoke to Moses in the mount Sina, saying, 2Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whenever you⌃ shall have entered into the land, which I give to you, then the land shall rest which I give to you, for its sabbaths to the Lord. 3Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vine, and gather in its fruit. 4But in the seventh year [shall be] a sabbath, it shall be a rest to the land, a sabbath to the Lord: you shall not sow your field, and you shall not prune your vine. 5And you shall not gather the spontaneous produce of your field, and you shall not gather fully the grapes of your dedication: it shall be a year of rest to the land. 6And the sabbaths of the land shall be food for you, and for your man-servant, and for your maidservant, and your hireling, and the stranger that abides with you. 7And for your cattle, and for the wild beats that are in your land, shall every fruit of it be for food. 8And you shall reckon to yourself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to you seven weeks of years, nine and forty years. 9In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you⌃ shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all your land; on the day of atonement you⌃ shall make a proclamation with a trumpet in all your land. 10And you⌃ shall sanctify the year, the fifties year, and you⌃ shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and you⌃ shall go each to his family. 11This is a jubilee of release, the year shall be to you the fifties year: you⌃ shall not sow, nor reap the produce that comes of itself from the land, neither shall you⌃ gather its dedicated fruits. 12For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, you⌃ shall eat its fruits off the fields. 13In the year of the release [even] the jubilee of it, shall [each] one return to his possession. 14And if you should sell a possession to your neighbor, or if you should buy of your neighbor, let not a man oppress his neighbor. 15According to the number of years after the jubilee shall you buy of your neighbor, according to the number of years of the fruits shall he sell to you. 16According as [there may be] a greater number of years he shall increase [the value of] his possession, and according as [there may be] a less number of years he shall lessen [the value of] his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he sell to you. 17Let not a man oppress his neighbor, and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God. 18And you⌃ shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments; and do you⌃ observe them, and you⌃ shall keep them, and dwell securely in the land. 19And the land shall yield her increase, and you⌃ shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it. 20And if you⌃ should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits? 21Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years. 22And you⌃ shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, you⌃ shall eat old fruits of the old. 23And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because you⌃ are strangers and sojourners before me. 24And in every land of your possession, you⌃ shall allow ransoms for the land. 25And if your brother who is with you be poor, and should have sold [part] of his possession, and his kinsman who is near to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold. 26And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, [even] his ransom; 27then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his possession. 28But if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his possession. 29And if any one should sell an inhabited house in a walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until [the time] is fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year. 30And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and it shall not go out in the release. 31But the houses in the villages which have not a wall round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release. 32And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites. 33And if any one shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the children of Israel. 34And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession. 35And if your brother who is with you become poor, and he fail in resources with you, you shall help him as a stranger and a sojourner, and your brother shall live with you. 36You shall not receive from him interest, nor increase: and you shall fear your God: I [am] the Lord: and your brother shall live with you. 37You shall not lend your money to him at interest, and you shall not lend your meat to him to be returned with increase. 38I [am] the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Chanaan, so as to be your God. 39And if your brother by you be lowered, and be sold to you, he shall not serve you with the servitude of a slave. 40He shall be with you as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for you till the year of release: 41and he shall go out in the release, and his children with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his patrimony. 42Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such an one shall not be sold as a [common] servant. 43You shall not oppress him with labor, and shall fear the Lord your God. 44And whatever number of menservants and maidservants you shall have, you shall purchase male and female servants from the nations that are round about you. 45And of the sons of the sojourners that are among you, of these you⌃ shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your lands; let them be to you for a possession. 46And you⌃ shall distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions for ever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labors. 47And if a stranger or sojourner with you wax rich, and your brother in distress be sold to the stranger or the sojourner that is with you, or to a proselyte by extraction; 48after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him. 49A brother of his father, or a son of his father's brother shall redeem him; or let one of his near kin of his tribe redeem him, and if he should be rich and redeem himself, 50then shall he calculate with his purchaser from the year that he sold himself to him until the year of release: and the money of his purchase shall be as that of a hireling, he shall be with him from year to year. 51And if any have a greater number of years [than enough], according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his purchase-money. 52And if but a little time be left of the years to the year of release, then shall he reckon to him according to his years, and shall pay his ransom 53as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; you shall not oppress him with labor before you. 54And if he do not pay his ransom accordingly, he shall go out in the year of his release, he and his children with him. 55For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.

ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 10:19–21
19By a multitude of words you shall not escape sin; but if you refrain your lips you will be prudent. 20The tongue of the just is tried silver; but the heart of the ungodly shall fail. 21The lips of the righteous know sublime [truths]: but the foolish die in lack.
New TestamentKing James Version
Mark 6:30–56
30And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 33And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. 34And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 35And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: 36Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. 37He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? 38He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 39And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 41And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42And they did all eat, and were filled. 43And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. 44And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. 45And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. 46And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. 47And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 48And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. 49But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: 50For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 51And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. 52For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. 53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 54And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, 55And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 56And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
