Douay Bible - Proverbs Chapter 2

Proverbs 2:1
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee,

Proverbs 2:2
That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence:

Proverbs 2:3
For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:

Proverbs 2:4
If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:

Proverbs 2:5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 2:6
Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge.

Proverbs 2:7
He will keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity.

Proverbs 2:8
Keeping the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of saints.

Proverbs 2:9
Then shalt thou understand justice, and judgment, and equity, and every good path.

Proverbs 2:10
If wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge please thy soul:

Proverbs 2:11
Counsel shall keep thee, and prudence shall preserve thee,

Proverbs 2:12
That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:

Proverbs 2:13
Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:

Proverbs 2:14
Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:

Proverbs 2:15
Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.

Proverbs 2:16
That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:

Proverbs 2:17
And forsaketh the guide of her youth,

Proverbs 2:18
And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.

Proverbs 2:19
None that go in unto her shall return again, neither shall they take hold of the paths of life,

Proverbs 2:20
That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the paths of the just.

Proverbs 2:21
For they that are upright shall dwell in the earth, and the simple shall continue in it.

Proverbs 2:22
But the wicked shall be destroyed from the earth: and they that do unjustly shall be taken away from it.

Jeremiah 26:4 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If you will not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have given to you: Jeremiah 26:5 To give ear to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you rising up early: and sending, and you have not hearkened: Jeremiah 26:6 I will make this house like Silo: and I will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

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.
