Deuteronomy 21:1–22:30
1And if one be found slain with the sword in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, having fallen in the field, and they do not know who has struck [him]; 2your elders and your judges shall come forth, and shall measure the distances of the cities round about the slain man: 3and it shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not laboured, and which has not borne a yoke. 4And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer into a rough valley, which has not been tilled and is not sown, and they shall kill the heifer in the valley. 5And the priests the Levites shall come, because the Lord God has chosen them to stand by him, and to bless in his name, and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [decided]. 6And all the elders of that city who draw near to the slain man shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer which was slain in the valley; 7and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen [it]. 8Be merciful to your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O Lord, that innocent blood may not be charged on your people Israel: and the blood shall be atoned for to them. 9And you shall take away innocent blood from among you, if you should do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God. 10And if when you go out to war against your enemies, the Lord your God should deliver them into your hands, and you should take their spoil, 11and should see among the spoil a woman beautiful in countenance, and should desire her, and take her to yourself for a wife, 12and should bring her within your house: then shall you shave her head, and pare her nails; 13and shall take away her garments of captivity from off her, and she shall abide in your house, and shall bewail her father and mother the days of a month; and afterwards you shall go in to her and dwell with her, and she shall be your wife. 14And it shall be if you do not delight in her, you shall send her out free; and she shall not by any means be sold for money, you shall not treat her contemptuously, because you have humbled her. 15And if a man have two wives, the one loved and the other hated, and both the loved and the hated should have born him [children], and the son of the hated should be firstborn; 16then it shall be that whenever he shall divide by inheritance his goods to his sons, he shall not be able to give the right of the firstborn to the son of the loved one, having overlooked the son of the hated, which is the firstborn. 17But he shall acknowledge the firstborn of the hated one to give to him double of all things which shall be found by him, because he is the first of his children, and to him belongs the birthright. 18And if any man has a disobedient and contentious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father and the voice of his mother, and they should correct him, and he should not listen to them; 19then shall his father and his mother take hold of him, and bring him forth to the elders of his city, and to the gate of the place: 20and they shall say to the men of their city, This our son is disobedient and contentious, he hearkens not to our voice, he is a reveler and a drunkard. 21And the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall die; and you shall remove the evil one from yourselves, and the rest shall hear and fear. 22And if there be sin in any one, [and] the judgment of death [be upon him], and he be put to death, and you⌃ hang him on a tree: 23his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you⌃ shall by all means bury it in that day; for every one that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God; and you⌃ shall by no means defile the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance. Chapter 221When you see the calf of your brother or his sheep wandering in the way, you shall not overlook them; you shall by all means turn them back to your brother, and you shall restore them to him. 2And if your brother do not come near you, and you do not know him, you shall bring it into your house within; and it shall be with you until your brother shall seek them, and you shall restore them to him. 3Thus shall you do to his ass, and thus shall you do to his garment, and thus shall you do to every thing that your brother has lost; whatever shall have been lost by him, and you shall have found, you shall not have power to overlook. 4You shall not see the ass of your brother, or his calf, fallen in the way: you shall not overlook them, you shall surely help him to raise them up. 5The apparel of a man shall not be on a woman, neither shall a man put on a woman's dress; for every one that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God. 6And if you should come upon a brood of birds before your face in the way or upon any tree, or upon the earth, young or eggs, and the mother be brooding on the young or the eggs, you shall not take the dam with the young ones. 7You shall by all means let the mother go, but you shall take the young to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long. 8If you should build a new house, then shall you make a parapet to your house; so you shall not bring blood-guiltiness upon your house, if one should in any wise fall from it. 9You shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seed, lest the fruit be devoted, and whatever seed you may sow, with the fruit of your vineyard. 10You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together. 11You shall not wear a mingled [garment], woollen and linen together. 12You shall make fringes on the four borders of your garments, with which soever you may be clothed. 13And if any one should take a wife, and dwell with her, and hate her, 14and attach to her reproachful words, and bring against her an evil name, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her I found not her tokens of virginity: 15then the father and the mother of the damsel shall take and bring out the damsel's tokens of virginity to the elders of the city to the gate. 16And the father of the damsel shall say to the elders, I gave this my daughter to this man for a wife; 17and now he has hated her, and attaches reproachful words to her, saying, I have not found tokens of virginity with your daughter; and these [are] the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall unfold the garment before the elders of the city. 18And the elders of that city shall take that man, and shall chastise him, 19and shall fine him one hundred shekels, and shall give [them] to the father of the damsel, because he has brought forth an evil name against a virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife: he shall never be able to put her away. 20But if this report be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel; 21then shall they bring out the damsel to the doors of her father's house, and shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; because she has wrought folly among the children of Israel, to defile the house of her father by whoring: so you shall remove the evil one from among you. 22And if a man be found lying with a woman married to a man, you⌃ shall kill them both, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shall you remove the wicked one out of Israel. 23And if there be a young damsel espoused to a man, and a man should have found her in the city and have lain with her; 24you⌃ shall bring them both out to the gate of their city, and they shall be stoned with stones, and they shall die; the damsel, because she cried not in the city; and the man, because he humbled his neighbor's spouse: so shall you remove the evil one from yourselves. 25But if a man find in the field a damsel that is betrothed, and he should force her and lie with her, you⌃ shall kill the man that lay with her only. 26And the damsel has not [committed] a sin worthy of death; as if a man should rise up against his neighbor, and kill him, so [is] this thing; 27because he found her in the field; the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to help her. 28And if any one should find a young virgin who has not been betrothed, and should force [her] and lie with her, and be found, 29the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the damsel fifty silver didrachmas, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her; he shall never be able to put her away. 30A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.

Psalm 37:9–22(MT: 38)
MT Psalm 38 = LXX Psalm 37 (standard offset).
9But all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you. 10My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of my eyes is not with me. 11My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off. 12While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day. 13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth. 14And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth. 15For I hoped in you, O Lord: you will hear, O Lord my God. 16For I said, Lest my enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me. 17For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me. 18For I will declare my iniquity, and be distressed for my sin. 19But my enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied. 20They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness. 21Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me. 22Draw near to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 12:26–28
26A just arbitrator shall be his own friend; but mischief shall pursue sinners; and the way of ungodly men shall lead them astray. 27A deceitful man shall catch no game; but a blameless man is a precious possession. 28In the ways of righteousness is life; but the ways of those that remember injuries [lead] to death.
New TestamentKing James Version
Luke 5:1–16
1And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. 12And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 13And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 14And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 15But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 16And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
