Douay Bible - Job Chapter 10

Job 10:1
My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

Job 10:2
I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so.

Job 10:3
Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked?

Job 10:4
Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth?

Job 10:5
Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men:

Job 10:6
That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?

Job 10:7
And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.

Job 10:8
Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden?

Job 10:9
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again.

Job 10:10
Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

Job 10:11
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together with bones and sinews:

Job 10:12
Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

Job 10:13
Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things.

Job 10:14
If I have sinned and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost thou not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity?

Job 10:15
And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and misery.

Job 10:16
And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning thou tormentest me wonderfully.

Job 10:17
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and multipliest thy wrath upon me, and pains war against me.

Job 10:18
Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb: O that I had been consumed that eye might not see me!

Job 10:19
I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.

Job 10:20
Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little:

Job 10:21
Before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death:

Job 10:22
A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.

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.
