1:1Therefore the Lord our God has made good his word, that he spoke to us, and to our judges that have judged Israel, and to our kings, and to our leaders, and to all Israel and Juda:

2In the fifth year, in the seventh day of the month, at the time that the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire.

4That the Lord would bring upon us great evils, such as never happened under heaven, as they have come to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that are written in the law of Moses:

5And Baruch read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joakim king of Juda, and in the hearing of all the people that came to hear the book.

7That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.

139:1I will praise you, O lord, with all my heart: for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to you before his angels:

2I will worship towards your holy temple, and I will give glory to your name. For your mercy, and for your truth: for you have magnified your holy name above all.

3In what day soever I shall call upon you, hear me: you shall multiply strength in my soul.

4May all the kings of the earth give glory to you: for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

5And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

6For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knows afar off.

7If I shall walk in the midst of trouble, you will quicken me: and you have stretched forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies: and your right hand has saved me.

8The Lord will repay for me: your mercy, O Lord, lasts forever: O despise not the work of your hands.

17:1And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but sorrow to him through whom they come.

2It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.

3Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sin against you, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.

4And if he sin against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted to you, saying, I repent; forgive him.

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.
