Douay-Rheims: Wisdom 7:7-11

⁷Wherefore I wished, and understanding was given me: and I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came upon me: ⁸And I preferred her before kingdoms and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her. ⁹Neither did I compare unto her any precious stone: for all gold in comparison of her, is as a little sand, and silver in respect to her shall be counted as clay. ¹⁰I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out. ¹¹Now all good things came to me together with her, and innumerable riches through her hands,

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 89:12-17 (Psalm 90 at Mass)

¹²Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom. ¹³Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants. ¹⁴We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days. ¹⁵We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils. ¹⁶Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children. ¹⁷And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.

Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 4:12-13

¹²For the word of God is living and effectual, and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 10:17-30

¹⁷And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting? ¹⁸And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God. ¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother. ²⁰But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth. ²¹And Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. ²²Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. ²³And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁴And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God? ²⁵It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. ²⁶Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved? ²⁷And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

The shorter form ends at verse 27.

²⁸And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee. ²⁹Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, ³⁰Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.
