Douay-Rheims: Jeremias 11:18-20

¹⁸But thou, O Lord, hast shewn me, and I have known: then thou shewedst me their doings. ¹⁹And I was as a meek lamb, that is carried to be a victim: and I knew not that they had devised counsels against me, saying: Let us put wood on his bread, and cut him off from the land of the living, and let his name be remembered no more. ²⁰But thou, O Lord of Sabaoth, who judgest justly, and triest the reins and hearts, let me see thy revenge on them: for to thee I have revealed my cause.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 7:2-3, 9-12

²O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me. ³Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.

⁹The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me. ¹⁰The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God. ¹¹Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart. ¹²God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?

Douay-Rheims: John 7:40-53

⁴⁰Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed. ⁴¹Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee? ⁴²Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was? ⁴³So there arose a dissension among the people because of him. ⁴⁴And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him. ⁴⁵The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him? ⁴⁶The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man. ⁴⁷The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced? ⁴⁸Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed. ⁵⁰Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:) ⁵¹Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth? ⁵²They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not. ⁵³And every man returned to his own house.
