Douay Bible - Genesis Chapter 13

Genesis 13:1
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

Genesis 13:2
And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver.

Genesis 13:3
And he returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai:

Genesis 13:4
In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord.

Genesis 13:5
But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents.

Genesis 13:6
Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.

Genesis 13:7
Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.

Genesis 13:8
Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren.

Genesis 13:9
Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left.

Genesis 13:10
And Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor.

Genesis 13:11
And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other.

Genesis 13:12
Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom.

Genesis 13:13
And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure.

Genesis 13:14
And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west.

Genesis 13:15
All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.

Genesis 13:16
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also.

Genesis 13:17
Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.

Genesis 13:18
So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord.

Jeremiah 26:1 In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, came this word from the Lord, saying: Jeremiah 26:2 Thus saith the Lord: Stand in the court of the house of the Lord, and speak to all the cities of Juda, out of which they come, to adore in the house of the Lord, all the words which I have commanded thee to to speak unto them: leave not out one word.

Proverbs 12:1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish. Proverbs 12:2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord : but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.

Douay Bible - Judith Chapter 11

Judith 11:1 Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. Judith 11:2 And if thy people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them. Judith 11:3 But now tell me, for what cause hast thou left them, and why it hath pleased thee to come to us? Judith 11:4 And Judith said to him: Receive the words of thy handmaid, for if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, the Lord will do with thee a perfect thing. Judith 11:5 For as Nabuchodonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in thee for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through thee, but also the beasts of the field obey him. Judith 11:6 For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all provinces.
