Douay Rheims Original ↷
1 Samuel 25 📜 📕 ↷
24 and fell at his feet, & said: In me my Lord be this iniquity: let thy handmaid speak I beseech thee in thine ears: and hear the words of thy servant.📜💬📚
25 Let not my lord the king I pray thee, set his heart upon this naughty man Nabal: because according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not thy servants my lord, whom thou didst send.📜💬📚
26 Now therefore my lord, our Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath stayed thee that thou shouldst not come unto blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now be thine enemies as Nabal, & they that seek evil to my lord.📜💬📚
27 Wherefore receive this benediction, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee my lord: and give to thy servants that follow thee my lord.📜💬📚
28 Take away the iniquity of thy handmaid: for our Lord making will make to my lord a faithful house, because thou my lord dost fight the battles of our Lord: let not malice therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.📜💬📚
29 For if a man shall rise, persecuting thee, & seeking thy life, the life of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with our Lord thy God: Moreover the life of thine enemies shall be whurled, as in the violence, and whurl of a sling.📜💬📚
30 When our Lord therefore shall do to thee, my lord, all good things, which he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall constitute thee Prince over Israel,📜💬📚
31 this shall not be an occasion of sobbing to thee, and a scruple of heart to my Lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or thy self hast revenged thy self: and when our Lord hath bestowed these benefits upon my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.📜💬📚
