1:2How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and you will not hear? shall I cry out to you suffering violence, and you will not save?

3Why have you shewn me sin and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful.

2:2And the Lord answered me, and said: Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables: that he that readeth it may run over it.

3For as yet the vision is far off, and it shall appear at the end, and shall not lie: if it make any delay, wait for it: for it shall surely come, and it shall not be slack.

4Look, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the righteous shall live in his faith.

95:1Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.

2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

6Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.

7For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

8To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:

9As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

1:6For which cause I admonish you, that you stir up the grace of God which is in you, by the imposition of my hands.

7For God has not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.

8Be not you therefore ashamed of the teaching of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but work with the gospel, according to the power of God,

13Hold the form of sound words, which you have heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus.

14Keep the good thing committed to your trust by the Holy Ghost, who dwells in us.

17:5And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.

6And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard offspring, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be you rooted up, and be you transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you.

7But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to food:

8And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird yourself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards you shall eat and drink?

9Does he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?

10I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
