Douay Bible - Job Chapter 27

Job 27:1
Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:

Job 27:2
As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,

Job 27:3
As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,

Job 27:4
My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.

Job 27:5
God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.

Job 27:6
My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.

Job 27:7
Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.

Job 27:8
For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?

Job 27:9
Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?

Job 27:10
Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?

Job 27:11
I will teach you by the hand of God, what the almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.

Job 27:12
Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?

Job 27:13
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

Job 27:14
If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.

Job 27:15
They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.

Job 27:16
If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,

Job 27:17
He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.

Job 27:18
He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.

Job 27:19
The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.

Job 27:20
Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night.

Job 27:21
A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.

Job 27:22
And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee.

Job 27:23
He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.

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.
