Job 39:1–40:24
1[Say] if you know the time of the bringing forth of the wild goats of the rock, and [if] you have marked the calving of the hinds: 2and [if] you have have numbered the full months of their being with young, and [if] you have relieved their pangs: 3and have reared their young without fear; and will you loosen their pangs? 4Their young will break forth; they will be multiplied with offspring: [their young] will go forth, and will not return to them. 5And who is he that sent forth the wild ass free? and who loosed his bands? 6whereas I made his habitation the wilderness, and the salt land his coverts. 7He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer. 8He will survey the mountains [as] his pasture, and he seeks after every green thing. 9And will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or to lie down at your manger? 10And will you bind his yoke with thongs, or will he plow furrows for you in the plain? 11And do you trust him, because his strength is great? and will you commit your works to him? 12And will you believe that he will return to you your seed, and bring [it] in [to] your threshing floor? 13The peacock has a beautiful wing: if the stork and the ostrich conceive, [it is worthy of notice], 14for [the ostrich] will leave her eggs in the ground, and warm them on the dust, 15and has forgotten that the foot will scatter them, and the wild beasts of the field trample them. 16She has hardened [herself] against her young ones, as though [she bereaved] not herself: she labors in vain without fear. 17For God has withholden wisdom from her, and not given her a portion in understanding. 18In her season she will lift herself on high; she will scorn the horse and his rider. 19Have you invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror? 20And have you clad him in perfect armor, and made his breast glorious with courage? 21He paws exulting in the plain, and goes forth in strength into the plain. 22He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, and will by no means turn back from the sword. 23The bow and sword resound against him; and [his] rage will swallow up the ground: 24and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds. 25And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing. 26And does the hawk remain steady by your wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south? 27And does the eagle rise at your command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest, 28on a crag of a rock, and in a secret [place]? 29Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far. 30And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcasses may be, immediately they are found. 31And the Lord God answered Job, and said, 32Will [any one] pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer. 33And Job answered and said to the Lord, 34Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. 35I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time. Chapter 401And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying], 2Nay, gird up now your loins like a man; and I will ask you, and do you answer me. 3Do not set aside my judgment: and do you think that I have dealt with you in any other way, than that you might appear to be righteous? 4Have you an arm like the Lord's? or do you thunder with a voice like his? 5Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe yourself with glory and honor. 6And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one. 7Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly. 8And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame. 9[Then] will I confess that your right hand can save [you]. 10But now look at the wild beasts with you; they eat grass like oxen. 11Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 12He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together. 13His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is [as] cast iron. 14This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels. 15And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep. 16He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush. 17And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and [so do] the bushes of the field. 18If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth. 19[Yet one] shall take him in his sight; [one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose. 20But will you catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose? 21Or will you fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp? 22Will he address you with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant? 23And will he make a covenant with you? and will you take him for a perpetual servant? 24And will you play with him as with a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 100:1–4(MT: 101)
MT Psalm 101 = LXX Psalm 100 (standard offset).
1(101) A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm, 2and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house. 3I have not set before my eyes any unlawful thing; I have hated transgressors. 4A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 23:29–30
29Who [has] woe? who trouble? who [has] quarrels? and who vexations and disputes? who [has] bruises without a cause? whose eyes are livid? 30Are not those of them that stay long at wine? [are] not [those] of them that haunt [the places] where banquets are? Be not drunk with wine; but converse with just men, and converse [with them] openly.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 6:1–20
1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
