17:8And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.

9And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men: and go out and fight against Amalec: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill having the rod of God in my hand.

10Josue did as Moses had said, and he fought against Amalec; but Moses, and Aaron, and Hur went up upon the top of the hill.

11And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame.

12And Moses' hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it happened that his hands were not weary until sunset.

13And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword.

121:1In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

2O Lord, deliver my soul from evil lips, and a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given to you, or what shall be added to you, to a deceitful tongue.

4The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

5Sorrow is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

6my soul has been long a traveler.

7With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.

3:14But continue you in those things which you have learned, and which have been committed to you: knowing of whom you have learned them;

15And because from your infancy you have known the holy scriptures, which can instruct you to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in righteousness,

17That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

4:1I charge you, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:

2Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and teaching.

18:1And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,

2Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.

3And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.

4And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,

5Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.

6And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge says.

7And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?

8I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of Man, when he comes, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
