Douay-Rheims: Exodus 1:8-14, 22

⁸In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph: ⁹And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we. ¹⁰Come, let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply: and if any war shall rise against us, join with our enemies, and having overcome us, depart out of the land. ¹¹Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them with burdens, and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom and Ramesses. ¹²But the more they oppressed them, the more they were multiplied, and increased: ¹³And the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them and mocked them: ¹⁴And they made their life bitter with hard works in clay, and brick, and with all manner of service, wherewith they were overcharged in the works of the earth.

²²Pharao therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall be born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the female, ye shall save alive.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 123:1-8 (Psalm 124 at Mass)

¹If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: ²If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us, ³Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, ⁴Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up. ⁵Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable. ⁶Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth. ⁷Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered. ⁸Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 10:34-42; 11:1

^10:34Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. ³⁵For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. ³⁶And a man’s enemies shall be they of his own household. ³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. ³⁸And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. ⁴⁰He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. ⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man. ⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

^11:1And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and preach in their cities.
