And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:

Genesis 33:2
And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and rachel and Joseph last.

Genesis 33:3
And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.

Genesis 33:4
Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.

Genesis 33:5
And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.

Genesis 33:6
Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.

Genesis 33:7
Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.

Genesis 33:8
And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favor before my lord.

Genesis 33:9
But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.

Genesis 33:10
And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favor in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,

Genesis 33:11
And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,

Genesis 33:12
And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.

Genesis 33:13
And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.

Genesis 33:14
May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir.

Genesis 33:15
Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favor, my lord, in thy sight.

Genesis 33:16
So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.

And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.

Genesis 33:18
And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:

Genesis 33:19
And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.

Genesis 33:20
And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.

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.
