Old TestamentSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Job 41:1–42:17
1Have you not seen him? and have you not wondered at the things said [of him]? Do you not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me? 2Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine? 3I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist. 4Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate? 5Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth. 6His inwards are as brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone. 7One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air can’t come between them. 8They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and can’t be separated. 9At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star. 10Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad. 11Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals. 12His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. 13And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs. 14The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved. 15His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil. 16And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth. 17If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate. 18For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood. 19The bow of brass shall not wound him, he deems a slinger as grass. 20Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand. 21His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense [quantity of] clay. 22He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment, 23and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range. 24There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels. 25He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters. Chapter 421Then Job answered and said to the Lord, 2I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you. 3For who is he that hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not? 4But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me. 5I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now my eye has seen you. 6Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes. 7And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends: for you⌃ have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has]. 8Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you⌃ have not spoken the truth against my servant Job. 9So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job. 10And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before. 11And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold]. 12And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures. 13And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 14And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn. 15And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren. 16And Job lived after [his] affliction one hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation. 17And Job died, an old man and full of days: and it is written that he will rise again with those whom the Lord raises up. This man is described in the Syriac book [as] living in the land of Ausis, on the borders of Idumea and Arabia: and his name before was Jobab; and having taken an Arabian wife, he begot a son whose name was Ennon. And he himself was the son of his father Zare, one of the sons of Esau, and of his mother Bosorrha, so that he was the fifth from Abraam. And these were the kings who reigned in Edom, which country he also ruled over: first, Balac, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dennaba: but after Balac, Jobab, who is called Job, and after him Asom, who was governor out of the country of Thaeman: and after him Adad, the son of Barad, who destroyed Madiam in the plain of Moab; and the name of his city was Gethaim. And [his] friends who came to him were Eliphaz, of the children of Esau, king of the Thaemanites, Baldad sovereign the Sauchaeans, Sophar king of the Minaeans.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 100:5–8(MT: 101)
MT Psalm 101 = LXX Psalm 100 (standard offset).
5Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten. 6My eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me. 7The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight. 8Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 23:31–35
31For if you should set your eyes on bowls and cups, you shall afterwards go more naked than a pestle. 32But at last [such a one] stretches himself out as one struck by a serpent, and venom is diffused through him as by a horned serpent. 33Whenever your eyes shall behold a strange woman, then your mouth shall speak perverse things. 34And you shall lie as in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot in a great storm. 35And you shall say, They struck me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 7:1–19
1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 17But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. 18Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
