| Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) | : | The Septuagint in English (Brenton) | |
| αὕτη ἡ μερὶς ἀνθρώπου ἀσεβοῦς παρὰ Κυρίου, κτῆμα δὲ δυναστῶν ἐλεύσεται παρὰ παντοκράτορος ἐπ' αὐτούς. | [Zophar] Jb.27.13-23[Zophar] Jb.27.13-23 | This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty. | |
| ἐὰν δὲ πολλοὶ γένωνται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, εἰς σφαγὴν ἔσονται· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἀνδρωθῶσιν, προσαιτήσουσιν· | And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg. | ||
| οἱ δὲ περιόντες αὐτοῦ ἐν θανάτῳ τελευτήσουσιν, χήρας δὲ αὐτῶν οὐθεὶς ἐλεήσει. | And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows. | ||
| ἐὰν συναγάγῃ ὥσπερ γῆν ἀργύριον, ἴσα δὲ πηλῷ ἑτοιμάσῃ χρυσίον, | Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay; | ||
| ταῦτα πάντα δίκαιοι περιποιήσονται, τὰ δὲ χρήματα αὐτοῦ ἀληθινοὶ καθέξουσιν. | All these things shall the righteous gain, and the truehearted shall possess his wealth. | ||
| ἀπέβη δὲ ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σῆτες καὶ ὥσπερ ἀράχνη. | And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web. | ||
| πλούσιος κοιμηθεὶς καὶ οὐ προσθήσει, ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ διήνοιξεν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν. | The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not. | ||
| συνήντησαν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὕδωρ αἱ ὀδύναι, νυκτὶ δὲ ὑφείλατο αὐτὸν γνόφος· | Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night. | ||
| ἀναλήμψεται αὐτὸν καύσων καὶ ἀπελεύσεται, καὶ λικμήσει αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ. | And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place. | ||
| καὶ ἐπιρρίψει ἐπ' αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ φείσεται· ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ φυγῇ φεύξεται· | And [God] shall cast [trouble] upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. | ||
| κροτήσει ἐπ' αὐτοῦ χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ συριεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ. | He shall cause [men] to clap their hands against them, and shall hiss him out of his place. | ||
