Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

And wilt thou seek great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but I will give to thee thy life for a spoil in every place whither thou shalt go.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

Καὶ σὺ ζητήσεις σεαυτῷ μεγάλα; μὴ ζητήσῃς, ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω κακὰ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ δώσω τὴν ψυχήν σου εἰς εὕρημα ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ οὗ ἐὰν βαδίσῃς ἐκεῖ.
